Sunset Magazine, April 2009, had an article on growing veggies in your own yard - Digging into Veggies. The first part of the article is about Willi Galloway from Seattle. She gives tips on how to grow a garden. I am not an expert on gardening, so I have no comments there.
The part that really bothered me was a picture, which is not online, where Willi is feeding chickens in her garden. It's really a shame that the magazine failed to mention the most important tip - keep the chickens out of your garden! People, who do both, separate chickens and gardens. Chickens destroy gardens and lawns - they eat everything, they scratch the ground, they will eat your veggies and tomatoes.
I am sure Willi does keep them separate, otherwise there would be no garden to brag about. Another explanation - those chickens are just models!
