    Chu say Garden: What to plant with chickens around - Experience needed.

    Ok, I'm not quite sure if this was the place to post this or not, but I did a search and found one great but relatively nonspecific thread. So I'm starting this one to get opinions and experience from those who have gone before. I've learned a lot from my chu: English ivy and azaleas are not...

    Chicken Coop Over Raised Bed

    Hello all, I had an idea hit me yesterday after watching a Justin Rhodes video. Right now I have 10 chickens over a 1/4 city backyard. I use 4x12x12" raised garden beds in my back yard to grow vegetables. I want to place coops over two new raised beds and slowly add hardwood mulch over the next...

    Radishes

    We left the radishes too long and they bolted to seed. I'm pulling them up and tossing into the brooder. The little pullets strip the stems of flowers first followed by the leaves. Takes them a little while, but after a day I pull the remaining stem out. I'm glad I didn't compost them once...
