Garden Ornament
Our asparagus has come up (planted it last year) and I wated to keep the chickens out of the bed, so I made a twig fence from green branches and old bamboo stakes. Its really just a visual barrier and fortunately our chickens are not smart enough to attempt getting through it.
I also wanted a no-cost solution!

I surround my raised beds with walls of that floating fleece fabric pegged to canes at the corners. It's a cheap solution which works really well. It has the added merit of giving protection against wind burn, insects (especially if you put a piece across the top as well) & the sun & rain can permeate it. At the end of the season I put the cloth in the washing machine & store it till the next year. I have some which is 5years old. I also use it over my winter veg (sometimes a double layer) to bring them through the winter. I even make tepee covers of it for earlier crops of beans & peas as here we can get frosts into early June. It's the cheapest solution that really works that I have found
