Moving The Chicken Caravans

I shift the caravans forward fairly regularly to spread the poop around the yards, and stop chook poop blight from taking hold of a spot .
Chicken poo as fertilizer needs to breakdown for a while before you use it in your garden because it will burn plants.

If you just let chicken poop accumulate in an area, then it stays barren for a while until its broken down enough, and then the area explodes with grass, plants, or anything like cherry tomatoes, vegetables, watermelons, things like that if you want to grow behind them. We don't grow and sell those things anymore because the profit margin for growing anything other than stuff for ourselves at home is too low for the workload now, and no spare workers to do that stuff atm.

I don't have an old Massy Ferguson tractor on each caravan though, because even though I'd like it, and they're not that expensive, its just a case of money and investment triage on the farm. Never something that doesn't need fixing or repairing, but, still worth the workload for the lifestyle and fresh air.
