17th November
Today I attempted the horrendous job of cleaning out the pigpen area. Since we’ve had copious amounts of rain in the last couple of weeks, their grassed area was an absolute quagmire and I nearly lost my boot several times walking through it. The hard standing outside their pens was not much better, so caked was it with mud. It took me several hours with a shovel to scrape away the worst of the mud. Still, it will all go towards a quite delicious compost! Their little houses never need cleaning out because pigs are actually quite clean animals (contrary to common belief) because they don’t ever go to the toilet inside. All they need is some new straw now and again.
