Cleaning the Coop to Celebrate the Halfway Point

We made it to the halfway point! We surpassed 500 subscribers in just over 4 months, which is very exciting. Today we are doing the same thing we were doing on May 1st in our first video on The Return Homestead. We are applying the manure to our blueberry plants to provide some needed fertilizer. The plants are starting to wind down to dormant for the winter, and this manure will be well composted by spring when they need it. Weeds over grew those beds this summer and the pine bedding we used will help lock out those weeds next year. The bedding and manure will help fill the bottom of the swales and help hold the water on the bed longer. So far the water escapes through the rocks and disappears down slope. So with one simple homestead project we clean the coops, fertilize the blueberries, reduce weed pressure, and help retain moisture. Everything on the homestead is connected with each system dependent on the other systems for proper function.
