RE: My soil is uppening! My soil is uppening!

We started uppening our garden soil on 2004 when we got our first chickens. I fenced them into half of the garden and gave them loads of chopped leaves to scratch in. They turned 8" of leaves into a couple inches of rich soil in a few months.

A few years of that treatment gave us a big, healthy garden, not to mention the eggs.

That's our plan as well! We've got two chicken runs that are deep vedded with leaves, grass, and chickens, as well as another compost pile that we empty the small chickens' coop bedding into. Since they're packed so tightly in their chicken house at night, they make a high concentration of poo, so I add it to a separate pile.

Can't wait to put it in our beds!
