Current Obsession:

Gardening with chickens. And gardening with chickens with bamboo. I found a flawless bamboo species, Phyllostachys iridescens. It's completely perfect, suits all of my needs, except for 1 thing: it is running. Tips from anybody on how to control bamboo, other than eating it and not watering it?
Anyway, for anybody considering having a garden and chickens coexist, I recommend the book "Free Range Chicken Gardens" by Jessi Bloom. She has some great inspiration, information and generally, the book is pretty awesome.

  1. put a metal border around the plants and watch like a hawk. Bamboo spreads if not contained.
