This is the new mountain of llama and horse manure and all the hay that was spread around the hay ring all winter.
I spent yesterday using the skid steer loader creating this pile in the llama pen. It is not just there to amuse them, which it does of course. But when they climb around on it they pack it, and being all piled up it goes through a heat process that will breakdown the hay fiber in it, which slowly turns into a manure enriched compost.
So in other words it is huge compost pile. I moved last years compost pile onto the old garden and the new garden site along with hauling a trailer load to Wooden Nichols to amend into the flower beds there. Then I spent time working it into the soil with my garden tractor and cultivator implement.
Getting close to planting season!
