Re: [CHICKENS-101] Shady gardening for chickens and people food - OT

 

I haven't noticed any chickweed, but then I wasn't looking.  Plus I probably wouldn't recognize it.  I'm sure we will have dandelions in a month or so.  We have clover that comes up down by the road, where the dandelions would be also.  I can order some though, unless it's available in store seed displays.  ??

I dig the roots and move them, plus gather the seed heads for my pens.
