Shnookina Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 We have a omlet go up with a run attached. Every now and again we would pick it up and move it to a different spot. However, the last time we moved it, we hadn't done so for a long time and it took us most the day to unearth the guards from the tangled grass and mud that built up around before we were able to lift it up. We vowed to never leave it so long again but guess what.... we did! Its not as bad this time but anyone got any tips to make it easier?

Beantree Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 You could put strips of weed membrane underneath, which you can buy by the metre off a roll, but of course that will kill the grass underneath. Make sure the chickens can't reach it because the membrane is made of woven plastic strips and you don't want them grabbing an end and trying to swallow it! I've found the best way of cutting the stuff is with a hot carving knife which seals the edges to some extent, but not completely and they will still fray.
