Just sauerkraut, kimchi and apple vinegar fermenting away in our house at the moment.

Did you ever get around to doing the photo shoot Burra? Would love to see it!
A really interesting report Gray, thanks for posting it.
I was particularly interested to see that potato crops were less affected with slug damage in plots that had an application of rcw.
If the study encourages more farmers to replant and maintain their hedgerows and mulch the trimmings, there would be the added benefits of reviving the craft of hedgelaying, not to mention the reinstatement of wildlife corridors.
If the entrance is in the side wall that you and your brother in law are standing in front of, please remember to incorporate a ramp in front of the entrance- it makes it much easier to wheelbarrow loads of mulch into the coop.
I look forward to following the progress of your build.
It's the middle of winter here and been very wet and cold. The chicken run had been covered in a deep layer of autumn leaves that had started to compact down and get slimy.
Luckily several huge piles of mulch were delivered o the community garden earlier in the week so spent the afternoon wheel barrelling several loads into the chicken run.
The chickens helped spread the mulch and had a good time scratching around for bugs. Will finish off mulching the rest of the run tomorrow.
