My hens love to lay their eggs behind the goats' manger... up in the rafters of the barn... in the rabbits' nest boxes (not in hutches, of course, but if I leave one on top of the hutch?)... in corners of the garage. Why, exactly, did I bother to build nest boxes JUST for the hens???Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894152513746944497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-8160129265836944792012-03-12T11:46:07.410-05:002012-03-12T11:46:07.410-05:00Wow ...sounds like a great method to me if it work...Wow ...sounds like a great method to me if it works.

You slice you seed potatoes and place them on top of the soil mound. Do not bury them with dirt. Cover the seed potatoes with a foot of straw, wet down to keep the straw from flying about. Come fall when it is time to harvest, move the straw and there are all your potatoes, no digging required.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-56260283393949807022012-03-12T10:07:45.071-05:002012-03-12T10:07:45.071-05:00What is meant by 'lazy bedding' potatoes?What is meant by 'lazy bedding' potatoes?HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.com
