This weeks short video showcases our house cow who gets milked once a day.The Dexter breed of cows or dual purpose meaning they are good for milking. Its been a real pleasure building the trust with Molly to get her to the point of placing her nose into the halter. Her daughter Chilli is now looking for her forever home.
I mentioned the soil food web in the previous video. The short explanation is that much like our stomachs villi, the roots and bodies of plants are covered in microscopic organisms in massive numbers. They protect the plants from invading pathogens, they act as middlemen between the plant and the nutrients found within the soil. In fact I would think they are the plants biggest fiscal market purchasing the sugars produced in photosynthesis and rewarding the plant with the micronutrients that it so richly deserves.
Since shutting down the tropical fish hatchery we have been really focused on being self sufficient off of our land.It has been one of the most challenging things that I have endeavored to do. It has also made me the most content I have ever been. Watching the land transform, the animals grow and the mountains of poo turn into rich soil is inspiring. The physical work has made us strong , boredom is an imaginary foe and sleep is deep.
I believe that in a few years we will be wholly self sufficient except for the 3 c`s.
