Today I turned over my garden - my girls experienced nirvana


How do your girls experience nirvana? I'm looking for different ideas for nature to be involved in their feeding with minimal expense on my part.


There are 2 things I already do.
I have 10 large pine logs scattered throughout their yard and every week I flip 1 or 2 over to reveal a bug feast.
In the fall I gather all the leaf litter and use parallel rows of chicken wire to make a wall. In the winter it keeps the wind off the coop door. In late spring I remove the chicken wire and let them go to town on wall breakdown. They find bug and worm bonanza.

What do you do?
 
Instead of hitting the compost pile with winters veggie plants, I pulled a few at a time and gave to my girls. They decimated the broccoli, roots and all. Nothing but a tough stem left. Same with cabbage stems I pulled up after cutting the cabbage.
