Hey Everyone!
For Earth Day 2018 I decided to start a garden in a new area that was previously a patch of wild lawn.
Initially I intended to do the lasagna method here, but I am going to reserve my lasagna supplies for another area and do these two rows traditionally.
In this video I remove clumps of grass, roots, rocks, and debris, and get the chickens to help out with some tilling, to form two large garden rows.
This is part one of 'Turning A Lawn Into A Garden', next we will be doing a soil test and amending if needed.
Join me in this effort to #GrowFoodNotLawns!
Take Care,
@AmyMya

A lot of work, but really rewarding
Following you and your gardening adventures with the chickens ;)
I hope one day to have my chickens pets :)

Thank you! I'm planning mostly squash up here, they like to sprawl and the ground is too rocking still for root crops.

That was an enjoyable video! It's fun watching the chickens scratching for bugs and worms in the freshly dug dirt. I haven't had chickens in about 20 years because I live in town, and they're not allowed here. It would be nice to have a few again.

They are so sweet, I really do live thier personalities. One especially, Queenie, loves it when I garden and is always right up in my face to get the juiciest worms haha
