Hi Angie, what kind of rake do you use? I haven't found anything with tines close enough to do the job. Im guessing you have lots of leaves and twigs too. We have a band of wild turkeys but they

Hi Marsha, I’m puzzling about the continuing increases in APF you are giving Dame to manage her veil . I’m not familiar with this approach. Could you fill me in a bit on how you got there,
