A few weeks ago, with my compost heaps overflowing with lovely compost (thanks to the mix of aubiose & chicken poo), I found myself with nowhere to empty the poo bucket each day. So I decided to wheelbarrow the contents of one well composted heap to the chicken run.
It certainly delighted the hens. The floor was covered in a 4" layer of fine, crumbly compost full of interesting stuff to rootle through. They were thrilled!
Then it rained. And rained. And rained a bit more. Now the run's a muddy quagmire & most of the eggs are covered in muddy clawprints. Our white leghorn is decidedly off-white in places...
It seemed such a good idea at the time...
What have you done that seemed a good idea but turned out not to be??
