It will also make it easier for Harrison because it will give him a lot more room to move about and it will hopefully stop the pigs from trying to fight through the fencing. We have already dug the holes and filled in some of the holes with cement. (The pictures here show the finished pig pen.)

Out by the also need to be planted at a depth. pond area we have planted runner beans, onions, leeks, beetroot and carrots. In the raised bed we have planted carrots, beetroot, broad beans, CHICKEN AND GUINEA onions and leeks. FOWL The only reason why the guinea fowl are in with the chickens is because when the guinea fowl have babies the babies do not survive out in the wild. Because we now don’t leave food out for the guinea fowl it means the ducks have gone away. So far we have got rid of 90 per cent of the ducks. Ten ducks was left up at EVOS and they have not gone away because we reckon that they were born and raised at EVOS.
