We turn our hens' manure, along with the pine shavings, under a mound every week and the squash loves it. We've had adventitious squash vines growing on the mound, too. By the way, we're up to our wattles in battles for our longheld property right of keeping chickens in the city. We're activated, trying to conciliate and educate public and politican alike. I am amazed, for instance, that no one seems to know that roosters are not necessary for egg production, and they assume people who keep chickens must have roosters and are thus a noise nuisance. I listen to blasting stereos, barking dogs, C-17s, and coyotes, but that doesn't seem to disturb people who just like to vent without fuel. We don't like upheaval, but we don't like forfeiture, either. God knows his purpose: either we will be forced to give up our birds, or he means to urge us to move on from Tacoma (Washington). We covet your prayers for a gainful resolution for all concerned. We've set up a new blog, Up To Our Wattles, that includes correspondence, articles, and resources to help others and to which others can add their help. God keep you. Hello, all.
