Houston, We Have a Henhouse!

thank you on all accounts! I do need to dig out for the apron, and it is going to be a big job in this rocky soil. Hoping to put it off until the temp goes back down into the 80s or lower. We have about an acre in town, so I think my biggest predator foe is likely a raccoon, or perhaps a loose dog. I will check out the links though while I prepare, thanks for sharing!

No, you can put it right on top of the ground and let the grass grow up. Lawn staples, tent peg or one inch of soil... As long as mower doesn't grab it.
