Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Greg and April" <gregandapril@earthlink.net>]

Ahhhh.....

Claudia,

I know this is going to sound incredibly stupid, but, if you have grain, why 
go to the trouble, of breeding maggots on it, to feed to poultry?

Why not just use it as scratch feed, or plant it, and feet the young greens 
to them instead?


And ...

Harvey,

Here is another stupid one.

Why not just let the chickens pick the meat from the bones?    Cut up the 
dead animals into daily portions, freeze what you don't need, and each day 
pull out a piece and as it thaws the chickens will eat it?    I don't do it 
this way ( as I don't have poultry yet ), but, I have some relatives that do 
it that way.
