Pigs in the garden: before and after

Posted on: 04-23-2011 Posted in: Farming News, Sheaffes Road

We have had some great results using our large black pigs in our vegetable gardens. Below are a couple of before and after pictures that show the swine assisted transformation. Big thanks to our cheer leader Dan Swan for pimping how Hugh from River Cottage uses his pigs.

Before Pigs worked their magic

Here is the same garden bed 6 weeks later. Chock a block with lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, tomatos and herbs. Go the Large Black roto tiller fertilisers.

After. We need to eat like pigs to keep up.

For those of you who do not know Hugh from River Cottage this pig video will give you a taste of his goodness.
