August is a month of high temperatures, good rain fall and nature working at its’ best. When not weeding the fields we spent the time preparing new fields for next year. 

The little piggies are not so little now and are growing every day. They love hiding in the long grass and rooting around for tasty little morsels to add to their diet. They are living up to their reputation as living compost machines. We have cut one field in half to do a controlled study next year - half will be the area that has been worked by the pigs and the other half will be the area using other natural fertilizer.
