May at kts acres












Ducks and chickens had a move to the long grass! Easy then strumming! They are loving it. 

Project guttering complete weather forecast for next few days - no rain! 

Sheep and lambs all doing really well. Sheep shearing booked in. 

Polytunnel finally has had matting put down and plants all doing well in there. Felt like a sauna only 43.5 degree c! 

Plant pot store built yippee all pots out of polytunnel. More room for growing. 

Next job dig over remaining beds and get planting outside more. 6 beds to fill! So project planting on the go.

Water collection

Until I get my water collection sorted I can’t have pigs! I am already taking up 40 litres a day for polytunnel, plants and animal I have. 

I am on it though! I have rigged up a 1,000 litre orange tank to guttering attached to polytunnel. My chicken coup is harvesting water into a 220litre waterbutt. And the other chicken coup has one side guttering feeding the duck pond with water. Have to finish the duck pond guttering when get right parts, 

Fete of engineering using the bits I had to create the above. Just wondering how to collect off the pig arc. There is my next project!
