As a farmer, I am a steward of the land and it’s animals.
My job is to feed both people and nature, to build up the world around me.
Farmers are healers of the land and providers of the people.
I will do my best to keep a clean and healthy environment that would be pleasing to God

After getting rid of detergents in the wash, we've seen a lot of frogs show up in the wallow. We're adding rain gutters to divert more water to the future pond.

Jordy,
Can you tell me how the grey water pig wallow has done for you? Did you do the pond and does your grey water still go into it?
We recycle our grey water into 2-20'x20' beds that we plant to feed the rabbits and chickens from. I have a bypass that goes down to a low spot on our property when the swales fill up and I was thinking of using the excess greywater and run off for a pig wallow. We use castile soap for everything so just grey water and castile soap goes out.
