The same pile as the image above, now in year 3, disturbed in May 2022, before planting again with styrian (hulless-seeded) pumpkins. These pumpkins produce seeds that are excellent as a human protein and nutrient source, as they require no hulling.

6-18-month old piles, with a greater proportion of green sawdust. These piles will take longer to break down, but we’re exploring mushroom spores that might work best with them. King Stropharia seems to be a good candidate. Again, the shade provided by adjacent and interspersed plants creates ideal conditions for mushrooms.

Sometimes we pile bedding high near and underneath our perennials, then we clear away the mulch and plant pumpkins. This also works well.

We’ve also used the compost to establish no-till garden areas, by spreading cardboard and adding about 4-6” inches of compost on top. This is usually a one-time application in order to transition one ecosystem to another. This allows the soil structure and mycorrhizal network to remain intact. Using sanctuary bedding in this manner helps this conversion.

Redworms rush to inhabit the compost piles and are able to over-winter in the warmer zones toward the middle of the pile whereas they would otherwise perish in the cold. The piles practically become vermicompost, as worm castings create invaluable soil structure and plant health via their humic acids.

Ducks dip greens in their water bowls and strip the leaves from the bedstraw, leaving only the stems.

Sanctuary at SHO - Shawn & Bodhi
In October 2019, we rescued Bodhi, a male Pekin, who was dumped at a nearby public lake. He was left to fend for himself as a young and solo heavy “meat” bird, unable to fly, and with no intuitive survival skills like his wild duck cousins. Thanks to a kind and thoughtful gentleman who knew a large white duck didn’t belong on the lake, who knew the duck needed help, we were contacted. Bodhi was our first “dumped duck” rescue, and our first Pekin.

Probiotic water kefirs combined with seasonal flowers...black locust, creates a champagne-like drink with healing properties and unusual flavors. Each drink makes time stand still, with ephemeral flowers preserved in a delicious and aromatic beverage.

Rugosa-rose petal maple oxymel...made with vinegar, maple, and salt. Petals infuse for a week, then the liquid is strained, and the resulting syrup used in mocktails or cocktails. We have created a rhubarb-rose margharita that surpasses any we have tried: ruhbarb salt, rhubarb water kefir, rhubarb syrup, rose oxymel, and a lacto-fermented rhubarb spear.
