I am in the process of deciding what kind of fence to surround my vegetable garden with. Last year I didn't have a fence and I think the chickens, deer, squirrels and the dog got more out of my garden than we did. So this year, we are expanding the garden and fencing/gating it in. The garden...

I'm from the BYC, but had flowers and veggies WAY before chooks...

Thanks everyone. You're awesome!

I've always staked, but last year I think my chookies got more tomatoes than I did. Time to make some cages.
