Perhaps you could get a scuffler attachment for the Kubota tractor to weed in between the rows?northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-83633783306064168572017-11-04T09:20:32.300+01:002017-11-04T09:20:32.300+01:00OLD SCHOOL, your idea about the chicken tunnel sou...OLD SCHOOL, your idea about the chicken tunnel sounds like a good plan. I know what you mean about having the chickens free range...they are a joy and a nuisance but I do miss them when they are shut away in their run. <br />I hope you are keeping well now the cold weather has arrived.

They dig up the mulch and take bites out of greens and tomatoes, the brats. Makes me a bit sad, as the birds' busy scratching and chirruping is so pleasurable when we're out there. Thinking about adding "chunnels" or chicken tunnels around the garden fences, so they can eat grasshoppers and keep us company next summer. Just chicken wire on meter-long sticks leaned up against the fence, making a triangular run for them.

I have top dressed the garlic with a light mulch of seaweed and planted Fall rye in the other raised bed. <br />We only have a couple of raised beds but they produce quite a lot for us and the extended family. The espalier apples, pears and red currents are space savers. <br />A light frosting of snow reminded us this morning that despite all the colour late in the garden the wet, dark days of winter are still ahead. <br />All the best.<br />Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-40367147682702577282017-11-03T19:02:07.296+01:002017-11-03T19:02:07.296+01:00Having just read back through your recent posts I&...Having just read back through your recent posts I'm relieved that a). you are back to blogging and b). you are recovering your strength.
