Howdy Friends! What about hay? While picking up poop in Kessys - TopicsExpress



          

Howdy Friends! What about hay? While picking up poop in Kessys Paddock Paradise this morning, usually a job Ravishin Robbie does but shes at an event in Philly til Monday, I had a thought. Oh and sidebar, that whimpering you hear would be me missing her ... Anyway, hay. As I scooped a beautifully crafted pile of processed hay into the muck wagon I thought about how much we horse folks handle hay. If you grow your own you till, plant, fertilize, mow, rake, bale and stack in the barn. If you buy as I do you stack on the trailer, unload the trailer/truck and stack in the barn. Unless you get it delivered, then most likely you help a little like me. (Very little), now were all even the growers and stackers. Then we fill hay bags or toss flakes to our horses (unless we us those big ol round bales). The next step then is to wait while our equine partners process the hay into ... the things they process hay into. Then we pick up the processed hay, and in our case we pile it on our compost pile to age. Now you might consider the hay handling complete here, not quite. After the aging process Ravishin Robbie moves this fine black processed hay to her garden where, mixed thoroughly to a depth of five inches or more with soil, that processed hay transforms into tomatoes, green beans, Swiss chard, rhubarb, carrots, lettuce and a host of other delicious vegetables not at all resembling hay, processed or otherwise. Now of course those vegetables carry that processed hay on still another journey, but I reckon Ill stop here. For now. Have a fun day! ~ Gitty Up, Dutch
