GM Nostr. Every fall I plant a winter cover crop in my garden. Today I moved my chickens onto the garden to kill the cover crop, and scratch up pests and weeds. I’ll pull them out about 30 days before planting so any droppings can mellow.

My favorite part of this is watching happy chickens get greens for the first time in about four or five months.

Austrian winter peas, daikon, radishes, and winter rye. The peas fix nitrogen. The daikon leaves behind a big root for worm food and rye holds the soil together well.
