Cherry tomatoes yes, for humans and chickies both. Berries... I have never been successful with any type of berry! Either they produce very minimally and with great struggle (strawbs) or they get decimated early by birds and critters. It's so unreliable for me that I hate to spend the...

Yes exactly, close proximity and therefore dedicated to *something* for them, whatever that may be. It sounds like a fast-growing leafy green or three might be the way to go, which I can definitely do. Maybe I'll do some greens and some herbs/flowers this year, see what likes that location best...

No worries! It's possible I'd let them roam briefly on occasion, which means they could decide to meander over into that bed. Mass destruction will NOT be permitted 😂 At least until it's time to turn over the soil, in which case I could definitely let the ladies handle that job for me.

I have a medium-sized pot (above ground) that I designate as my mint spot. That's all I give it! Hmm I've never grown catnip, despite having a cat. That could be a fun one, although we do have neighborhood outdoor kitties so I don't know how that would go. Maybe they'd help with pest control if...

Now there's an idea! I have some greens in my real garden but probably plenty of spare seed this year. I could toss those in and see how they do, maybe get a bonus crop. Thank you!

They won't actually have access to this garden bed - no free ranging. I'm only looking to make it chicken-friendly just in case I let them out for a few supervised minutes occasionally. Mint... it's just far too invasive. If I plant mint in that bed, that's all I can ever plant there! Creeping...

It will be filled in and the cloth deeply covered. This is also only the secondary run, so they won't be in there full time.

Like I said, no plans to free range so they probably won't ever get in this bed -- just on the small chance I DO allow them out for a few minutes, I don't want to put anything harmful. I'm well aware of their mass destruction. I'm actually growing almost everything I listed in my real garden...

Last weekend it took 4 adults and 4 hours to clear, level, and lay the base for my new 8x6 chicken run. (A local company will build the actual structure). There's still some leveling to do and of course the hardware cloth will all be covered eventually -- not going to fill the bottom until the...
