Little treats

I bought these a little while back 
And I decided I’d pot them up today 





I used pots that I already had. You know me I don’t throw anything away. 
Filled them with pitting mix and used the off cuts from the chicken coup to make a “cage “ over them 



I sprinkled the seeds and thought they were too exposed so I added the mulch.
Until they go into the coop I don’t want small bird eating the seeds 



They don’t look pretty but hopefully they work 
The theory being the greens will grow through the wire, the chickens can munch away but can’t dig the seedlings out. I’ve also left room enough for the seedlings to grow larger before the chickens can access them 

Fingers crossed it all works 
If not. Well there is always a plan B

    1. I hope so. I’ve got lots of green waste from the garden they can have in the meantime

    1. That’s sad, but it does happen.
      Maybe a wire with some plastic bags attached to blow around in the wind will deter them
