For smell, this may seem strange but I actually prune my herbs-rosemary, lavender and lemon grass and throw it in the coop and nest boxes. It smells wonderful for several weeks and the herbs are supposed to repel bugs.
All these herbs grow really easily here although I'm sure in colder...

I do the same. Any tips on sorting out the pine cones? They drive me crazy in the coop and garden. I have so many pine trees in my yard though and the pine needles are wonderful for bedding and garden material, plus, they are constantly needing to be raked up.
I also throw down alfalfa...
