Hedge trimmings

I found this pile of hedge trimmings outside my allotment recently. Food for the goats! The hedges in the area continue to grow well and another allotment holder told me this evening that he is planning to cut some of the large branches from the elder and hawthorn in the hedges around the site. He will leave them for me to feed to the goats. The more free food we have like this, the more self-sufficient we become.
