Now that the growing season is slowing down there are some beds in the gardens that have been harvested for the last time this year. We have let the turkeys range in it. They will eat the stems of the harvested greens, and they will also lay down a nice layer of manure. The manure will provide soil fertility for the next season. Since these fields won’t have anything harvested from them until late spring or summer of next year this is an excellent way of using animal husbandry to add soil fertility without compromising food safety.
