Hello all,
I'm looking at building a couple of grazing boxes for my flock so they have a constant supply of green grass in their large enclosure. Their large enclosure is plenty large but I feel not large enough to get away with direct seeding the ground every few months and don't have the ability to rotate. So graze box route it is.
I know hardware cloth is recommended for this application but im wondering if chicken wire would suffice?
I'm having a hard time finding hardware cloth cheap and in the length and width I need when chicken wire is readily available and cheap as well.
Thanks all
