We hope to plant our potatoes tonight. <br /><br />We do not use soaker hoses because watering is so expensive for us...we have city water but we also have a cistern which we want to hook up to a watering pump. <br /><br />Do your soaker hoses add to your water bill or maybe you don't have a water bill? <br /><br />We keep our chickens in our chicken tractor... for the very reason that like to enjoy our garden too:)<br /><br />ReneeReneehttp://gardendesk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-27081706620063220962010-03-19T09:07:49.946-05:002010-03-19T09:07:49.946-05:00My experience with chickens in the garden hasn'...My experience with chickens in the garden hasn't been a positive one. They tend to eat or scratch up whatever I'm trying to grow. So, once the seeds go in, the chickens have to stay confined. I'd prefer to let them have the run of the entire backyard, but I would also like to harvest some of my crop myself ;). We're going to build a "yard" for the chickens and ducks this year. It will give the ten birds just over 700 square feet, including the "coops", to roam. Hopefully, that will be enough for them to be content, and hopefully, it will clean up my yard a little bit ;).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-10117183992437020072010-03-19T07:37:43.285-05:002010-03-19T07:37:43.285-05:00Oh, can you give more info on that new garden hose...Oh, can you give more info on that new garden hose? Perhaps have Tabitha link to it on Amazon? I find one 5 star Gilmour hose with one review (is that you??). We gave up on soaker hoses a few years ago because, as you know, they are somewhat brittle and hard to store.<br /><br />Thanks for the info once again, Karl!Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-1637707867199584252010-03-18T21:27:24.485-05:002010-03-18T21:27:24.485-05:00I love the chickens roaming around too but last ye...I love the chickens roaming around too but last year they ate all the spinach seed I had planted and then started on the peas. So they spend the summer in a tractor that we move over dormant parts of our garden.Fleecenik Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106921810537649303noreply@blogger.com
