今日の天気は最高だった。気温は14～20度、風はあまりなく、湿度は低くて、快晴。。。畑作業には最適。チキンハウスをまた作った、今回は移動式のもの。野菜畑は順調。。。レタス、大根、ブロッコリー、ソラマメ、スナップピー、ほうれん草、全て元気にしている。
Such gorgeous weather today… air temperature was between 14 to 20 degrees… little wind, low humidity, and sunny…
Beautiful beautiful day to be in the garden…
Made another chicken house, this time, a movable one…
The potager is doing so well… lettuce, turnips, brocolli, fava beans, snap peas, spinach all growing well…
Yes, had already assembled about 90% of the parts of the chicken house…
The three chickens have moved in, and are enjoying their new ‘hotel’…
Am embarking on an exciting experiment, to use bamboo material for roofing for the chicken house…
Two lengths: the short (70 cm) for the side roof, and the long (160 cm) for the top roof…
But bamboo is susceptible to Powderpost beetles, which in time, will eat away the bamboo…
The heat process apparently, will give the bamboo an awful taste for the beetles…
At the same time, the heat extracts oil from the bamboo… and the oil, in turn, will act as a protective layer for the bamboo…
Next step, assembling the parts…
Been keeping chickens for several years now…
Made a mini chicken coop years ago with recycled wood…
Design was not too good as too much effort was needed to clear the droppings…
Hence, Version 2.0 of the chicken coop…
Below are some shots of the Ver. 2.0 coop foundation, taken from different angles…
