Hello all! Now that it is springtime, I’ve been wanting to plant some wildflower seeds in our old garden beds that are overgrown and need some TLC. I tried to do this last year, and spent hours in the hot sun toiling, making the garden livable for plants. However, this work attracted some unwanted visitors that are supposed to dig through the compost, not my wildflowers! They saw the upturned soil and me sprinkling the seeds, and naturally, they wanted to go check it out! They were pleasantly surprised with what they found, and ended up pecking every seed that I worked so hard to plant. This year, I want to give my garden some better protection while it’s still growing. Obviously, one thing i could do is put up a fence. However, fences take work to put up and are an eyesore while they’re there. I’m curious if there’s anything else I can do that’s not so labor-intensive to repel chickens from the garden. This may be wishful thinking, but I would love to hear some suggestions if there are any!
