That sounds perfect! We definitely get some rain and I've had willow trees and other willow plants in a different region that was drier than where I am by a LOT! I'll add black willow to my list of plants to research and make sure they'll do well and aren't invasive in my area. Though I'm pretty sure they'll do good. Maybe I can be real crazy and plant roses too after the willow takes a good hold into the ground. We'll see. Me and my green thumb have done weirder things haha
I use rose bushes to determine my dogs in quite a few areas. The knock out roses grow super fast I'm in zone 7B. Willow spreads like wildfire every year. Also barberry bushes are Excell detergents but I'm not sure
Hello everyone!
I have a very large pen for my chickens (bigger than the 50×50 foot hawk net we got by ~20ft). Unfortunately, the fence sucks a little bit. Our one very smartly stupid dog is incredible at breaking in underneath the fence to eat scraps. We fix it constantly but she just breaks it again.
So until we can afford to completely rebuild a whole new fence (probably smaller as we didn't build the original, it was there when we got there and they clearly didn't know what they were doing) does anyone have any recommendations as to what I could grow inside (or outside) the fence so the dog can't get in. She doesn't dig up plants, especially if they're spiky. I was thinking roses or willow since they don't produce fruit bears might want with a side of chicken. But, obviously it has to still be chicken friendly! Height of plant doesn't really matter if it grows on the inside. But if it's outside I need something easy to keep under 5ft so it doesn't mess up the electrical fence for our dearly detested and unwelcomed bear visitors!
I live in BC, Canada so the weather is hot in the summer and cold in winter.
Thanks in advance!
I use knock out roses and barberry bushes to deter my German Shepherds from getting into lots of spaces. Thorny, very fast growing, pretty to look at, and chicken safe. I'm in growing zone 7B/8
