This sounds very interesting. Do you have pictures?
No, not now I will have closer to spring. It was an idea from the chicken tractor garden concept, but where we live, tornado alley and hail storms a moveable tractor didn't seem to provide enough protection and housing. So we brainstormed the idea of keeping the chicken house stationary and the center of the garden and moving the "run" every 3 wks through the growing season. There are 8 runs 4 are for short term growing and the chickens are in those a total of 3 times, and 4 are long term growing they are only in that once a year. In each garden/run we will plant as a guild (multiple varieties companion type) and chicken forage. We have been working on the plan for a year and can not wait to implement it this year. We will also add fruit trees to the concept. Our goal is as close to raising as much of our food as we can in a back yard in town.
