we'll take it throughout the farm as we open the door right here show you guys open the door this is the inside of the coop we've got it layered with straw the straw makes bedding the bedding is what gets raked out and put into a wheelbarrow well check this out it's designed to house the wheelbarrow underneath there's a little board that we pull up right here this is a really cool idea I thought you pull this board up right here you pull out your wheelbarrow which is hidden under there and we just simply take a rake and rake this off into the wheelbarrow and take it right over and put it into those garden beds that's the way I beds to bed for the winter here on the Stoney Ridge Farm now we'll have two or three of these beds that are dedicated to fall crops winter crops things like lettuces and cabbages and stuff like that but mostly we're just going to put these to bed every Amazon box I get is going right in here instead of going in the trash can getting burnt we're going to be recycled we're going to actually recycle them on the farm because it's biologic material that's going to help our soil and it's great for weed control and I don't know how many you guys have planted a garden and got a huge problem with weeds but I have that when you have good soil it loves Garden veggies and it loves weed so guys that's just one way that you can do your garden beds if you don't have raised beds like this you can do this on a larger scale or a smaller scale right on the ground pretty awesome stuff so folks thank you so much for joining me here on the Stony Ridge Farm today I just wanted to show you how I was composting with my chickens a good Innovative way way to utilize these Amazon boxes or any boxes that you get to help put your Gardens to bed and how we use chickens soil manure and all this material to build our soil instead of putting commercial fertilizer on so our food tastes better and it's better nutrient content that's what it's all about thanks guys we'll see you next time on the Stony Ridge Farm Channel please hit that like button subscribe I'd love to have you back here on the farm good times I got to go move the cows [Music] here and sweet
