We are still using no-till, but we are eliminating grass walkways and replacing those with wood chips.

Success...with pigs

​
We were able to raise three pigs. They were put in pasture at three months and were harvested at nine months of age at over 300 pounds each. No success with chickens which were eliminated by raccoons before laying even one egg. The pigs were moved weekly or more often if it rained. They seemed to love rooting up everything. Growth behind the pigs was noticeably absent of poison ivy, brambles, and other weeds, leaving mostly grass to grow. They were given small amounts of non GMO swine feed morning and evening just thrown on the ground. We will definitely be raising more pigs next year.

We are finding that the pigs and chickens get along well together.

It seemed as though everything has been slow, but we also have more critter pressure. Apparently the rabbits are loving the fresh strawberries. I am totally impressed with the large tomatoes called Mortgage Lifter, an heirloom variety.

Veggies seem to be taking longer than usual to mature, but we do have these three---cabbage, swiss chard, and broccoli available now.
