Loving the herd life
Alaskans raising Rabbits and Bee’s, if they’re considered “herd animals”? We’ve been up here 28 years now yet it doesn’t seem like that long, must be an ole guy thing.
We’re organic everything and run a garden, greenhouse and rabbitry based on good soil food web practices. Everything supports something else, nothing grown on the place leaves unless it’s excess and gifted to others.
The rabbitry is new this year, not our first go with rabbits, just new at this location. With our very long day, intense growing season plants excell beyond your wildest dreams however due to a cooler shorter overall season Composting is slower. I‘ve generated my own lacto bacillus serum and fermented plant extract to speed up the process and they help but we still needed a real, reliable manure source to really kick it off. That’s where the rabbits came in and we’re optimistic to think we can complete a batch and apply it the same year now.
we’ve lived some good stories and certainly have some serious Alaska pictures to share, in time. As we go along i’ll try to keep you entertained and be quick to answer where we have anything valuable to share. We’re not experts at anything but, you dont make it to 70 without something to offer.
i retired as a Machinist after spending over 4 1/2 decades in the oil fields of Texas, North Dakota and Alaska so we might find ourselves wandering on some rabbit trail from time to time chasing something just because it needed chased! And since it’s New Years i’ll start this off with a bang.
P.s, i built this little golf ball shooter after retiring exactly 2 years ago today.
thanks, Alasgun Mike
