counturchickens Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Finally got round to posting some pics. We have a very small garden, but as a treatment for my morehens I wanted a cube. I didn't think we would fit one in but thanks to the forum and Plum in particular managed it! First, the empty garden from a couple of years ago And now the 'after'! Had to adapt the cube to allow a side entrance, but there is room at the other side to open and close the door if you don't mind being attacked by the rose!

jennym Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yay, glad you got your cube. Morehens is a very serious condition and requires immediate treatment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Looks smashing a real chicken playground Bet they love it under all those bushes. Like your side door entrance as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What a lovely garden - the chooks certainly bring it to life . Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Bushes probably took a couple of years. The red Robin (photinia?) is their favourite dust bathing area. Apparently it is a bit passé, but anything that can withstand the hens is fine with me. The roses are fine too, but the clematis need some hen protection, as does the grapevine!

Plum Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 My photonia is surviving as well. Like the way you have flying hostas that'll stop them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach chick Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 great use of space, and it looks really nicely 'furnished' with the cube. photinia might be passe, but who cares?! I love it when the red leaves come out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimmyCustard Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks lovely, I just had some new plants from my Mum and she was horrified how much the girls trash the garden! New plants are now in big tubs........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
