Do ...I have Navajo-Churros AND black walnut trees! Do you feed them the whole nut? Husked? Leaves? I have also read about the garlic; I'm planning on drying and grinding some of our garlic harvest and mixing it into their regular free-choice minerals. We also have about 30 chickens that free-range in the same pasture as our 7 sheep, and I truly believe they also keep the parasite load down.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637937995358269399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418383065154135.post-66694545883741936322010-11-12T11:41:38.786-05:002010-11-12T11:41:38.786-05:00I have Navajo-Churros AND black walnut trees... do...I have Navajo-Churros AND black walnut trees... do you feed them the husks? Leaves? Husked nuts? Mine like a bit of a nibble on pine trees, they always seem to know what to eat and what to avoid. Ours also share pasture with about 30 chickens, and I truly believe the chickens keep the parasite load down as they graze together. I've also heard about the garlic; I'm planning to dry and grind some of our garlic crop and add it to their regular mineral mix.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637937995358269399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418383065154135.post-68430189457379626992010-08-04T14:30:16.147-04:002010-08-04T14:30:16.147-04:00But of course! <3
I'm a lazy gardener.......But of course! <3 <br />I'm a lazy gardener....really need to pull weeds, but I've decided that it's better for my earth to not. We do have sown grass out in the front of our 2 acres, but trust me....there are TONS of natives growing all around our property. <br />When we had to have trees cut, we saved most for firewood, but the largest tree, I just had them drop it and leave it right where it landed...not sure how many critters have made it home, but it is there for them, and to nourish the land. Florida is ALL sand, but at the back where that tree is....the trees have been dropping leaves and branches for at least a hundred years and there is actually SOIL back there! This Florida girl was shocked and ecstatic when I first discovered that.<br />I do my best to remove any invasives that are non native and we do have a few of those buggers. <br />Glad that people ARE still turning back to traditional ways.<br /><br />SusanSpirit Oakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789581385119487281noreply@blogger.com
