Chickens, eggs and life in rural Maine

Growing Gardens

Posted by Miranda on Apr-29-2009

GH went to Lowes today to pick up some supplies this morning.  He picked up chicken fencing and posts for the chicken run.  I haven’t quite decided where I want the fencing attached.  GH also brought home some pressure treated 8×2”x4’ planks for two more SFG frames, and two bales of peat moss for the mix.  I picked up some compost a couple of weeks ago.  We screwed together the frames and put them down on the fabric black mulch beside last year’s frames.  We filled them with the compost and peat moss.  Now we have double the gardens we had last year.  I still need to get some vermiculite.  I have to pick it up at our local nursery.  I’ll get some seedlings at the same time.  We don’t usually put in our gardens until Memorial Day weekend, but with all this warm weather, I think I may put it in early.

4×50’ green chicken fence $26.80

6 5’ fence posts $3.93 ea. =$23.58
