In late winter I put the chickens in my garden for a few hours over several days. They have a great time digging for bugs and worms. In return I have less bugs in my garden so far this year.
I still have the Japanese Beetle and the squash vine borer to battle but have high hopes that the chickens ate all the larvae for me. Only time will tell.
I'm sharing my experiences with gardening and raising chickens in my backyard. I am passionate about heirloom vegetables and flowers. In the winter I start my plants from seed to add to my collection of medicinal herbs and my tea garden.
