Sorry to confuse - I meant that chickens are a useful stage in preparing new ground or working over beds which have already been harvested. I once fantasised about offering a garden makeover service using a succession of animals - maybe goats first, then sheep, followed by pigs and finally chickens; I reckoned that you'd finish up with a patch free of any undesirable living thing (admittedly, also some desirables!) and well broken up, needing only a final rake-over. (OK, Steve, I hear you)Tony: Our rule here is no chooks in the veggie patch ever.
