Waste not, want not

I am trying really hard to be less wasteful and the chickens are a great help with this.   Today I pulled up some radishes for lunch tomorrow, together lettuce, rocket and salad leaves.



I love the cycle of reducing waste.  The leaves from the radishes were given to the chickens who really enjoyed them.  They then provide us with lovely fresh eggs and lots of chicken manure which can be left to dry out and then in the autumn put into the garden to help next year’s crops grow.
