One day down on the NEC farm

We had a bit of a flurry of activity down on the NEC farm today.

A chest high compost pile was put together in paddock 4. We'd slashed about an acre, collected a wheel barrow full of Alpaca and pig poo, slurried it up and layered it into a couple of the higher layers as we went about stacking and watering the ever increasing mountain. It felt quite grand.

We also put together a worm farm down in the 7 mile site shade house. The worm juice will fertilize the seedlings that are destined for the paddock 4 hillside and that aforementioned compost range.

The finale for the day was sowing a whole lot of Zucchini(120), Tomato(160), Eggplant(120), Chilli(40), Basil(200), Capsicum(80) and Leek(80).

And thus the doing was begun...
