I find the chickens do some minimal damage (check the garden every day) and have to put a little soil back by the roots. The main damage they do is to seeds, smaller roots- like cukes. They dislodged mine last year, died in the heat. So the trellis should fix that :) They make up for it with AMAZING soil and eggs, no bugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040199365888949396.post-87738548768710746622012-06-15T13:22:26.558-06:002012-06-15T13:22:26.558-06:00Those garden stakes are a great idea - but my seed...Those garden stakes are a great idea - but my seed envelopes are paper and I think they would disintengrate in the rain.<br /><br />I had no idea it was so much work to keep chickens out of a garden. We'd like to get chickens when our city zoning changes (fingers crossed), so it's useful to see what that might be like.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040199365888949396.post-39981996711286452312012-06-13T14:09:36.934-06:002012-06-13T14:09:36.934-06:00You have some great ideas here.

http://mysimplec...Heidi at My Simple Country Living<br />http://mysimplecountryliving.blogspot.com/<br />did a post a week or so ago about a Food Swap that she attended in her area, she LOVED it!<br />I only ever grow pickling cukes, they taste just like salad cukes when added to a salad, double duty! :)<br />I'm glad your chickens worked everything out and, yes, that IS a cute diagram!<br />Everything in your garden looks great and I do like how you chicken proofed!Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.com
