On April 5th a group of DVC students led by Permaculture teacher Bethallyn Black visited CACG to undertake a sheet mulching project. Here are some images from this glorious day in the spring sunshine.
Some Sheet Mulching Images here will give an overview of the principal we are applying.
We also enjoyed the company of Little Bit and her week old chicks in the Chicken Tractor.
It's a dark image but the best I have to share with you. The shadow from the overhead netting makes it a challenge to get good photos even when inside the contraption. Hope you can see the chicks.
I find it difficult to get good chicken photos at any time because they move so quickly. Generally, as a species, they express little interest in modeling or photography and are not willing posers for the camera. My admiration and respect goes to those who have captured magnificent chicken images. For example in catalogues.
Finally a suggestion endorsed by the Martinez Permaculture Center ...
Have a Magical April Day,
