janeears Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hello, I've haven't posted on this forum for AGES - everything is going well with my gorgeous chooks - but I've a quick question for anyone out there!! The wonderful sunny weather over the weekend has sent my 3 chickens scratching in delight all around the garden - much to my husband's dismay! He's very proud of the lawn and it's now littered with various debris from the borders - twigs, dead leaves, stones etc. Have you any words of advice about how to prevent this happening? I'd love to use reclaimed railway sleepers but we're on a very tight budget and I'm amazed how expensive they are! Thanks for your help.

lindafw Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 how about bricks...bought from a reclamation yard? My Auntie Peggy had them set at a 25% angle along the edge of her lawn..set into a fill of concrete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeears Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 That's a good idea. Would you know, or anyone else, if it would be a relatively simple process? (I'll have a go at anything but skill-levels are ......... basic!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Have a look on freecycle to see if anyone has anything they want to get rid of. You never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
