So I got the wagon and loaded up 3 huge loads like this one of the best hay mulch. This is where I fed the sheep hay and it's sat here all winter. It's FULL of big red worms. I mean FULL. Every time I got a fork full there were worms.
This is where all that went. On the cabbage and onion bed. It's really deep too. Still have a flat of cabbage and some broccoli to get planted. It will get done.
I have all this to get on the garden too. Under the sheep shelter. Lots of good stuff. Then there's the other shelters. The chicken coop. And the goat barn. I should have lots of good arm muscles soon!
What do y'all use for mulch? I like this because it has all the sheep, goat and chicken manure mixed in with it. So good for the garden. And I can mix it in later to the soil and it makes it richer.

That is a great idea! I plan on using leaves...
Leaves are great to use on the garden. You can also use grass clippings a few days old. I have even used the wool from the sheep that's not good. It's really good and no weeds go through that.
I need to get my barn all cleaned out too. It's just so heavy and matted right now. I think I'm going to spread it on some grass just outside the veggie garden to kill the grass so I can expand the garden.
We usually use leaves and grass clippings to mulch the vegetables.
Sounds like you need some pig helpers. That's where my pigs are now. They're doing a great job mulching it all up.
