Goats
Our latest gardening tool is two goats, a mother and kid. They'll eat some of what grows on our land, and hopefully their sharp hooves will churn manure into the soil, improving its health. Surprisingly, the Mom, Christy, really likes the spiny, evergreen bush called greasewood that is sommon in salty soil. We have quite a bit of it... and as you get closer to Little Salt Lake, it pretty much blankets the countryside.
Here, three-month-old Wind plays on a makeshift teeter-totter whil Christy takes a nibble of tansy mustard.
