Speaking of mulch, the ONLY spot in our garden that flourished this summer was where I had dumped the hen coop clean-out over the winter.

Yep. Hubby bailed on his side, and since I had planned to give my side a rest, I only planted 9 tomato plants - all but one being heirloom. They did beautifully! One tomato weighed 1.7 lbs. At first I couldn’t understand why they did so well, while the few other plants we put in failed badly - then I realized I had dumped the clean-out in that end of the garden. Never will I doubt the power of chicken poo again.

I’m sprinkling tomato slices with a variety of spices and parmesan. Then drying them in the dehydrator. They make a tasty snack. The meatier types of tomatoes work best.
