Chicken Feed The chickens seem to waste less feed when it’s given to them in pellet form.  They can be fed from a feeder, dish or right off the ground where they can really get busy scratching!  Plus, the mix is consistent in every bite.   Regarding our Standard Chicken Feed Mix, We use only Non GMO Certified Organic grains grown with a regenerative agriculture practice.  We use hard red spring wheat for the carbohydrates,

We have been using a lawn sweeper on our large lawn for years and had accumulated a rather large pile of grass clippings and pine needles.  The pile was added to significantly each spring and again each fall just before the snow fell in the fall.  Once in a while, over the years,  I had stirred it up with a rototiller to entrain some air and had even bought 5 pounds of redworms and waited

Problem: Compacted soil will restrict root growth and penetration into subsoil. This situation can lead to stunted, drought stressed plants as a result of restricted water and nutrient uptake, which results in reduced crop yields. In wetter than normal years, soil compaction can decrease soil aeration and lead to the increased loss of nitrate nitrogen by denitrification, which is the conversion of plant available nitrate-nitrogen into gaseous nitrogen forms that are lost to the atmosphere.
