Yay Dirt!

We have had so much rain lately that the loafing area outside the milkroom is more like a swamp than a barnyard. 

10 years ago this was all dry sand.  Now it's a stew of organic material.  Great for gardens, but horrible for drainage.

Some areas are ankle deep in the poop-soup.  Not good for goat hooves...or for any animals.

So today we took the first step towards improving our drainage...the rest will involve a lot of hard work!

We will be moving this topsoil over the next weeks and months....and do some major dirt work in the back.

 

Hard work for sure, but what a blessing!
