The chook domes have finally done a full circuit of the mandala! This means each vegie bed has had a chook dome one it once for two weeks sometime in the last six months.
This is making getting the beds ready for planting much easier as most of the pasture grasses, bracken and blackberries have been dug out of the beds. It also means that the beds only need to be cultivated to just below the surface and therefore the soil structure is less disturbed... good for the worms and other soil life... and so make healthier vegies!
The intention is that after the next six month complete rotation, the soil should have improved to the point where transplants are put straight into fertile and friable soil -- a no-dig market garden!
