Fred has made my day. With bucket loader and spreader, he tackled the monstrous pile o’ compost in yonder bunker silo. Two year’s worth of soiled straw, hay and sheep poop equals a mountain roughly the size of the Matterhorn. Amazingly broken down into rich, dark organic matter, it’s now put to use fertilizing our hay field down on the Long Lot.

This may not sound post-worthy, but trust me, it’s a big deal!!
