The design of my new garden.

| The circles are raised beds using recycled galvanised water tanks, The ones marked with WB means they will be wicking beds. |
And will my chook keep laying over winter? I have 2 old girls who lay about 1 egg a week and 3 young layers. I make sure during winter they have a boost to their protein because if they are replacing feathers , they can't lay eggs unless they have the extra protein. I give this in the form of a large can of dog food twice a week. Last year it worked a treat and I had eggs all through, so I am testing it out again.
Your design looks great! Planning ours too...for 'when we renovate' :) My chooks are still laying but sporadically.
ReplyDeleteI have ideas for my garden and where different things are going, but I haven't got organised enough yet to measure properly and make a plan. I feel an urge coming on :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, the raised garden beds are such a good idea - just got to lay our hands on some old tanks!
ReplyDeleteMy husband uses occasional tinned cat food to boost protein for his chooks - similar thoughts... works well.
