Deadbeat fruit trees
We decided to give up on our peach trees.
Making room for something
more reliable.
Got most of the tree cut up
with the awesome
Oregon battery powered chainsaw. I monitor the battery level and
try not to take it down past 25% which is usually when I'm ready for a
break anyway.

Sorry! That was such a pretty spot, esp. from the kitchen window.
Maybe it was too exposed to an updraft there, tho. Actually, I wonder how a holly tree or other evergreen might do there? Or just leave it open for awhile, and take time to decide.
I have been watching your fermented compost experiment. I was wondering what you did with your kitchen scraps before. And your advice, I normally let the chickens have at the compost pile with all the kitchen scraps. I have ample supply to carbon- saved dead leaves and newspaper, nitrogen from green grass clippings, but not so much fertilizer-manure. Would you save the kitchen scraps for the compost ability or let the chickens have at it?
