Has anyone tried planting mint nearby their coops? I've hear both mice & rats hate it. Supposedly peppermint works the best! Has anyone else read or tried this?

I hope you love your mint(s)! They do tend to be very hardy, so I'm sure they'll love their new home.

Thanks so much for the replies! All the tips help in the journey for happy healthy plants! Thanks MoutainMan60 & Newfoundland I've been interested in the black krim tomatoes but not sure I'm experience enough for those fancy ones. But they sure look good in the seed catalogs! I think I will...

Does anyone have some home remedies or special secrets for a baby tomato feed? I'd like the roots to get stronger, no of course bigger thick stems too. I am growing beefstake and cherry tomatoes from seed this year. This is only my second year of growing from seed, and the seedling are doing...

I have peppermint and spearmint. I tend to use the spearmint more in cooking, but I cannot resist the peppermint smell because it smells just like candy!

The Buckeye chicken breed is known for being good mousers!

There is a herb plant called Borage, which has tiny blue flowers and the bees love it! I think they wait in line for it. It's a hardy plant and it is a self seeder, so you'll have a little Borage forest before long. Also the bees visited the catnip & catmint herbs when they flowered. Cardinal...
