Our Productive Lawn

Dear Family & Friends

We maintain a big enough grass lawn for football game...but as we have two pretty girls, they're not really into this kind of sport...so, last year we grew the grass for more productivity than just having a high maintenance garden lawn.

Our lawn producing valuable hay for chicken nest and mulch for the garden plants

We need hay for chicken nest, although whenever we place new hay on their nesting box, our silly chickens  would kick them all out ...Did I say "our silly chickens"?

Hay is also valuable for gardening use...as mulch to conserve water evaporation and to keep the plants cool during hot summer months.

Our neighbour is pleased with his work accomplishment

The neighbours around our village makes tons of hay for their animals needs every year. They cut them manually with scythe, load them into their wooden cart, dry them by the roadside, then store them in their barn. That's a lot of love for their animals, don't you think so?

It was our first time to make use of our grass lawn last year and we came to a good mount of hay, enough for our use. Any left over is also good for compost making. Might be another added gardening work, but we're looking to do it again this year...after all, maintaining a manicured lawn is just as much work as this.

Finding physical work makes us stronger and fitter...I'm actually preaching to myself!! Might give a bit of muscle ache sometimes, but it does have its share of fun!

Hope you have a good and happy day today:)

Yours
