And now the dandelions are out of control. I don't mind them all that much- but it's really bad. I mow, and they shoot way up. Any ideas on natural ways to... more »

sunrise wake up?!
|
| |
So, we have an 8x8 ft coop for 6 hens. During the day they have a much larger run under and around our trampoline. The thing is, that when they wake up, the squawk to get out. We even had a neighbor call about it last summer. My husband has largely come to terms with a farmer's lifestyle, but there are times we really want/need to sleep in. This is more than we... more »
