Getting used to having no goats but what do I do with all my fruit tree prunings now?

They (allegedly) produce some interesting dye colours, I think pinky.

You could root the cuttings and go into business selling fruit trees

You could chip them for mulch

You could weave a hedgehog shelter

Erm.....

Same boat here, except it’s rasp canes, cabbage and cauliflower greens. I begrudge the composter them after so many years of being goaty treats

I like the idea of swapping for

cuddles

Get yourself a pet rabbit instead. I tried fattening rabbits (meat rabbits however) on just brambles and it worked!
They also est cabbage bits and apple tree prunnings

Some brilliant ideas. I think I'll give growing fruit trees a miss. I'm supposed to be cutting back on what I do, not finding another job. Hedgehog shelters? Good idea - I will try it if my hands will allow it. I think SD has probably had the most feasible idea. I'll put something on the Goaty Friends Facebook group. And hope
that someone on here who is near would like some.
