The Manure That Skips a Step
Chicken droppings need time to mellow before the garden. Rabbit droppings can go straight onto the beds.
Mendel's rabbits do something his chickens can't: their manure is gentle enough to spread directly on the garden without composting first. Same idea as always — take good care of an animal, and it takes care of everything around it too.
About Hatch Mendel
Got chickens for the eggs, then just never stopped. Knows more about chicken behavior than most vets do, but he'd never call it expertise — to him it's just paying real attention to something he genuinely likes. The rabbits happened next. The goat situation is, by his own account, still ongoing.
