Yes, I goggled "colette tucson zoning law update" and found the link that way. Haha. I think you can probably google the terms "arizona public media Tucson Drafts Updates to Urban Agriculture Code" and find it that way too.

Oh, I tried to copy the link and the link is about 2 paragraphs long, so I'm not sure what is going on!

Trying again anyway: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...26UMZ3NUDEVRJPcCNuSfPug&bvm=bv.66330100,d.cGU

It takes a bit to get me riled up but she did it. Requiring gardens to have fences?

I'll shut up now before I get myself in trouble.

I think all the posters on this thread need to have a meeting at the community feedback meeting. I won't buy anything from the supermarket that I don't have to, I simply don't trust the government, FDA, or big ag. I like to KNOW what is going in my gut. Time to stand up for our rights. I believe I have the right to grow my own food, and KNOW it is safe to eat.

People have used grape vines, the bottom the girls will eat, but only as high as they can reach, so they have to be protected until they gain some height. There are a number of other vines. I love Cecil Bruener, it is a rose, comes in pink, white and yellow, maybe other colors but I haven't seen them.


Once they get long enough, again, the chickens will eat what they can get. It has tiny thorns, so you need gloves as you train it to go where you want it to. Beautiful and cooling. If you design it right, chicken will find it cool and a very safe place to hide and a safe place for a nap. I had one that grow fast and had abundant flowers.

Those are gorgeous!!!! They are not harmful to animals then? I need to find a list of what I can plant around my chickens goats and pigs.

Happiness is getting waked up at 1 am by a bunch of roosters crowing, and realizing that - for once - it isn't YOUR roosters waking up the 'hood.

Even happier when you realize the crowing is coming from several different directions, so there must be a lot more chicken people in the neighborhood than there used to be.
Life is good

I live out of town in SW Tucson near Bopp and San Joaquin and I put a Roo in my duck run as he and my other roo were fighting and over breeding my girls. I love his coloring and I want to retain him as a breeder. The other morning I am working in my garden and working in the duck run which is next to my garden and my neighbor asked me WHY there is a rooster in with my ducks. I said because he didnt play nice with my other roo. They then asked WHEN he was returning to the flock and I said umm never. She got angry and said well...he is very loud!!! I said yes roosters can be.

I got upset because I have lived here 10 years. They own the property and house in front of me and they moved out 4 years ago and sold it but the people defaulted so they moved back however they have 2 families living in their house and they put a 5th wheel next to my fence for them to live in and they have another motor home some man is living in on another part of the property. That is 4 families on less than one acre and the only reason they hear MY roo crow is because they decided to put their 5th wheel there. It is frustrating. why do people move to the country if they do not want to be around animals?

Wish I had other Roosters crowing my my neighborhood.

I am going to try and go to the Tuesday meeting. I think we need as many Tucson back yard ag growers as possible. This is crazy!!!

Welcome everyone. I was thinking how our situation here in Phoenix is so different from almost everyone else on here. In most threads people talk about cold and freezing weather, winter and such. We really don't have that big of a difference here so a lot of advice doesn't relate to us. For instance, how dry it is and the struggle with keeping things moist or humid.

Updated. For some reason it posted before I was done with my post.
