One of my chooks died a couple of days ago. It happens.
So I had to bury her deep so that the dogs didn't dig her up.

Let us open wide the door;
Throw out crumbs…

Hey Dave, I use "after photo" - it's free but with ads.

Oh, and I forgot how good his jokes are too????

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
