What tricks does everyone have up their sleeve to save time and money during the winter and to reduce general maintenance?
My girls are pretty economical to keep so it's more saving time than money. I make all my hay and nets for the week on a Sunday, saves me ages! I also add in my new bedding on a Sunday and make big banks then I can pull down what I need rather than having to constantly add fresh during the week. Am lucky as the girls tend to leave their banks up!
Am also about to put Puz's tail bag on for the winter to stop it getting muddy and horrid, bought pig oil and sulphur for her legs to stop the mud sticking so badly.
