Preparing to keep chickens
I have a chicken house and run which have not bee used for over five
years. The house is in good condition but the run, which is quite a large area, has become completely over-run with nettles. I would like to restore it to non-nettle vegetation as quickly as possible so that I can begin keeping chickens again. My vague plan was to begin to mow it as soon as new growth starts in the spring. I would prefer not to use chemicals. I'd be prepared for some physical labour but think the area is too large to dig all the roots out by hand. I would welcome any suggestions as to what might be the most effective and quickest way of getting rid of the nettles and some idea of how long it might take simply by mowing regularly. Many thanks Janet G |
