BUT SUPERMARKETS ARE OBVIOUSLY CLEANER THAN DIRT YEAH? sO THE FOOD MUST BE CLEANER ON THE SHELVES THAN IN THE DIRT -ESPECIALLY IF THE DIRT HAS SHIT IN IT.

You seem to have a complete lack of understanding of how vegetables are grown. How does rabbit manure differ from any other animal manure that supermarket foods may have been fertilised with. You are basically saying you would rather eat food that you have no idea what's in it. What if the farm they were grown on had composting toilets and used human waste for fertilizing crops? Yes, it's illegal but you don't know for sure that hasn't been done. Not to mention the synthetic chemicals used.

So pesticides and GMO's are better than rabbit poop that's made up of lettuce?

[CynthiaZenn]

Well enjoy your GMO's and pesticides....as well as the cancer you will get later on in life. Idiot.

[mallamoozoo]

I'd rather eat food from the supermarket than stuff thats been shat on by rabbits!

Thats a good idea about the rabit and chicken living on top of your raised beds.

I hope your don't kill your rabbits and chickens.

Patti.. awesome video and great info as always. Over the years here, I've noticed a marked increase in worm populations around the grounds. I like to stomp on the ground early in the morning and hear them percolating in the moist earth. By doing this, I get a rapid assessment of where they are many, or few... FUN. I know you have a completely different situation there... I spoke with friends up in Vermont about your program over the fourth, you are doing a lot of good Patti!
