[QUOTE="Guleesh, post: 7797996, member: 147187"] Anyway... never mind about brexit. Since we're heading a bit off topic, look at our little Kune Kune X s that mostly graze and don't really dig.....:oops:[ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0679.JPG"]992252[/ATTACH] They were very well trained to the electric fence, and wouldn't leave their enclosure when it came time to move them, so we enlisted the retired collie, but he just stood staring at them so we had to just drag them out squealing.[ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0997.JPG"]992253[/ATTACH] A quick level with a rake then we laid some precious wool for mulch, this will hopefully protect the soil and give time for the grass roots to rot before planting this bit with potatoes in spring.[ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_1019.jpg"]992255[/ATTACH] It turns out these pigs dig as much as any other, maybe too much X and not enough kune kune? so for now we've given them another little area to destroy, but I'm seriously considering just putting them in a shed until early spring.
