My trial green house (pvc and plastic) has worked well. A few nights I would turn on a heater or put a bucket of wood-stove coals in the g/house.

All I grew were greens for the chickens - nothing tricky. I did try a new fertilizer - kinda gross but it was very diluted chicken poo. The plants loved it and are thriving. I could eat those same greens however I refer you back to my previous statements regarding poo.

It has been so warm - East TN - everything is sprouting - not good.

Last year’s pickles were not as good as last years. Does anyone know if vinegar loses its potency with time?

Will I ever get used to raising animals for food? I mean,,,they TRUST me.....guilt.

I know I couldn’t. I’d probably name them all.

Nothing wrong with chicken poo.

Fertilizer as the Creator intended.

My Sister just delivered a box of rabbit droppings for my garden.
