Garden area that we fenced

Here is the garden area we worked on getting a fence around yesterday. I know it's extremely hard to see it, but there REALLY IS a fence there. *grin* The wooden thing in the left corner is our compost bin, the blue thing in back, on the right is a chicken tractor that has become a permanent fixture where it is because we built it too heavy, and can't move it. Right now though, it's just sitting there without any chickens, chicks, ducks, or anything using it except to explore for food leftovers. *grin* Basically it's a broody pen for any of the chickens that want to sit on eggs. It's also used as a confinement pen if one of the birds gets injured or sick and needs to be separated why it heals. And last but not least, if you care, that white thing on the right of the picture is the pump-house for our well. *smile* Anyway, now that we've got the garden area fenced (except we want to add another fence on top so it's taller), now we need to start adding cardboard, newspaper, grass, hay, and compost so that by next Spring it'll be ready to have things planted in it. The trick is going to be keeping the chickens out of it. That's one reason we want to make the fence taller. We plan on that layer not being very sturdy, so that the chickens *can't* land on it and then hop to the other side. Besides which, yesterday a couple of the birds got in and then couldn't remember how and then couldn't get out until we opened the gate. LOL.
