Chicken poo and gooseberries

I started mulching the fruit on my plot with spent wood shavings from my chicken coop a couple of years ago.  My thinking was if I used them twice they only cost me half as much 

The first layer was stacked and composted for 6 months, but once a decent layer was down, I started chucking fresh stuff on top to tut-tutting from the older generation of plot holders and.........................

this was a pick today from a single Invicta gooseberry - 7.5 kg and I gave quite a few away down at the plot.  Well I couldn't walk away with this lot with little longing faces looking at me 



The 50p is so you can see they are decent sized berries as well.  If you keep chickens I'd recommend trying this.

So you were wrong all along then.

Wow!  they look supberb.   Cant understand why your method wouldn't work?

The method obviously works so why the grumpy old men act? Even blokes and women in their 70's can still learn a thing or two......pride is a silly old thing. Well done,I say.
