how does a person keep chickens out of a flower garden or vegtable garden without a fence?

Answer 1

Try giving your chickens their own fresh greens everyday. All the stuff you would put into the compost pile. Feed the greens to them as far away from the garden as possible. You might get lucky.

Feed the chickens someplace away from the garden. Continuously do this so that the chickens will always look for food someplace other than your garden. Or you could just build a chicken coup and call it a day.

Answer 6

i take advantage of a jap digging device to weed grass it fairly is located close to to the veggie flowers, and hoe out the stuff it fairly is growing to be on the fringes. to maintain the grass from coming returned, unfold sheets of newspaper around the backyard and canopy with grass clippings. This works as a surprisingly effectual barrier for greater or less 6 weeks and could not harm your vegetable flowers.

They make this organic chili spray that is extremely hot. Spray some on your plants and they shouldn't eat them anymore. It doesn't effect your plants either. look for capsaicin in the ingredients in the Sprays for plants.
