Hay Time
This weather may be remembered as the only time we have had no panic to get the hay in......talk about leisurely
 |
| Hay what ya looking at ! |
 |
| And not a cloud in sight! |
The Keder polytunnel
 |
| Laying the foundation for the "hugle" beds |
 |
| Sheep's wool on the ground |
 |
| A great way to discard of old fleeces from our sheep |
 | |
| Large chunks of alder added to the wool and compost |
 |
| The mounds are high-3 ft high |
 |
| Leaf compost laid on top |
 |
| More compost is added |
 |
| Many hands.......... |
 |
| The edges of the bubble wrap slide into the metal tubes |
 |
| Rod about to tighten the cover |
 |
| It's finished |
 |
| Et voila! |
