THE CHICKEN CROP GARDEN SYSTEM
About:
Here’s a special system in which chickens can do a large amount of your crop gardening.
Bigger, 1,200 to 1,700 sq. feet plot sizes for crops that don’t need close maintenance.
The chickens prep a large area by fertilizing, tilling and spreading amendments or mulch, move them out and easily plant your crop (best if you can transplant).
What’s you’ll need:
At least 24 chickens
Mobile Coop:
How to do this:
Set up your chickens in the area of your future garden
Leave them until it’s well-fertilized and tilled (or until you need the space)
Add any amendments and have the chickens till it in
Add mulch material and have the chickens help spread the mulch (don’t do this if you need to sheet mulch a lot of weeds)
Move the chickens out and plant your garden (preferably transplant)
Bring them back after harvest to clean it up for the next planting
