      G’day mate just found your channel. I recently got 12 chooks I live in suburbia but am starting my urban farm. Just wondering mate, why on earth can you not feed your kitchen scraps to the chooks in the UK.? This seems absurd to me.

      It came about after the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak in the UK and Europe. The EU then clamped down on it. Whether that's changed or will change now we're no longer part of the EU I don't know, but it seems that the UK had changed very little of what came about due to draconian EU rules/laws so I won't hold my breath!

    I'm an avid composter with a large garden & I came across this vid a few months back & gave it a go. I'm a total convert to this method, it works a treat. I have several "open cast compostings" going on around my veg plot some I've used already with success. I use a lot of wood chippings from cuttings, cardboard, weeds, grass etc & leave it a day or so to burn off any seeds & turn it when the mood takes. I'd highly recommend your method for any size of garden.

    Great lesson on composting. We are in the US in a rural area with free range chickens. We often put grass clippings into their pen, but they are only in there a short while in early morning as we let them out to roam around during the day. My poor husband has been trying to make compost by putting it in a pile and turning it himself. I'm going to send him the link to this so he can see how to let the chickens do a good bit of the work.

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  3 роки тому +2

      We have a lot of foxes so the chickens are only allowed out when we're out. I do have the conventional compost pile but that's to handle the overflow, one of my jobs this year is to redesign the system to make it easier to work

    • @kcpaull
      @kcpaull 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@MyFamilyGarden Luckily, the foxes never bother the chickens here as there are plenty of wildlife, however, coyotes can be a problem. We had to put a top on the run to keep them and the raccoons out.

      Hi Gary thanks so much, chickens make a brilliant gardening companion just don't let the get near your veggies because they'll eat everything lol. I hope you can get some 😉

    Enjoying your videos! I can’t believe y’all can’t give your kitchen scraps to the chickens over there. That is a crazy law. I’d be doing it anyway.😂

      Hi John, they're fantastic at breaking stuff down. I get them free from a tree surgeon or make them my self from hedge clippings etc

    Great video Monty, you are all clued up about composting! I'm now wondering how much compost I could get out of my chicken coop! 🤔 It's certainly worth a go although I only have a hand sieve so 1 tonne may take me a while 😂

    Luvd ur video......i have chickens and a few rabbits...access to lots of leaves and aged hay. Growing food at home is my favorite thing to do.....am experimenting iin my hoop house with greens this winter. Unfortunately i am in zone 4b.......very cold without much sun for 4-5 months. Keep up the awesome job!!!

      Have you thought about using a hotbed, it's something i use to extend the growing season, i think it would work perfest in a hoophouse. ua-cam.com/video/rCzO-iZgcBA/v-deo.html

      I make mine by mixing chip bark with organic chicken manure pellets
      And leaving for a few months
      Weather and worms do their work
      Manage around 5 tonnes
      MashAllah my kids enjoy helping as well

    That's brilliant, my girls are abit toffee nosed they don't touch any vegetation growing in the garden (which is great for all my flowers), the only thing they eat from the garden is the grass, and funny enough didn't even touch the grass scrapings I gave them. Looked at it and walked off....oops

    Do you ever have problems with rats due to keeping the chickens and, if so, how do you minimise them? I only ask as I'd love to get some chickens. Very good video my friend 👍
