Flowerbeds! I give up.

[pgpoultry]

This is what my chickens think of the flower bed.

And my planter

So I have given up on gardening.

Woah! That brown chicken at the back of the first picture has a HUGE mouth!

We have one too. We use it to keep the chickens off the lawn. Occasionally we turn the scarecrow off and let the chickens do some mowing of the grass. Then we turn it back on. The girls have learned to recognize when I plug the thing in. Its useful since we let the chickens free range over all 6000 sqft of the yard.

Its carried at OSH too. I think Petco & Kmart may carry it.

I was going to get one anyway to stop the neighborhood cats from using my beds as a litterbox!

our yard looks like a war zone. There is fencing everywhere. I use the misting setting on the garden hose, deters them for a while. Cute and frustrating - they dirt bathe in the lettuce garden. They know the good stuff.

I use cardboard mulch around my herbs and it is working, though admittedly it doesn't look super nice. My veggie garden is fenced though. The wire on the ground idea works too, I've used that to keep squirrels from digging things up.

Okay I did a shortish video with some captions so you can "look up" the plants later if you want to see what they look like full size/flowering.
