what cover crop animals don't eat
Comments (2)How big an area are you talking about? Does it need to be a legume or would something like a wheat or rye work? I think any legume would be prone to damage by rabbits and voles, but if it is a smaller area you could try some of the solutions listed in one of the vole threads listed here, or in the hosta or perennial forums if it is a smaller area. Some folks have found that bright shiny pinwheels (handmade or dollar store) around a garden bed also will discourage the critters....See MoreChickens eating everything I don't want them to
Comments (20)Finished the greenhouse repair and moved on to the chicken fence - cutting all the boards for 4, 64" panels. That was as far as my bundle of 1x2's went. Charlene, I have Australorps and a Barred Plymouth Rock. They are too heavy to fly much of anywhere. I've never seen them 3 feet off the ground even in panic. I said that they can't get in the front yard but that isn't really true. One thing, they could actually crawl under the gate . . . they've just never done that and neither did the other hens I've had. They are fairly timid creatures and aren't really out long enough to be too adventuresome. They ALWAYS get a treat when they are put back in the coop - even if it is just a little handful of something. Therefore, whenever they even "think" that there's a chance for a treat - they are ready to run home. The only exception is if they are "deeply" involved in a dust bath. Then it may take some coaxing. I may use the panels just for a portable pen. It would be very small but I'd probably still use the only-out-for-a-couple-hours schedule. The concern I have is that it's only 32" high and they may decide that they could clear that. Still, the gate is only 36" and the chicken wire around the bells/foxgloves is only 36". Of course, if they tried to fly into the bells/foxgloves, they would crash into the greenhouse wall . . . I really think that treats are powerful - altho' just like with kids, they can have too much of a good thing. But, if they "think" they can have a piece of cheese or something, and since there isn't a rooster with his own agenda, you could probably guide them into any enclosure that you want to use for them. They could take a stroll around the yard with you out there with them, then go into a portable pen for a few hours. Anyway, that may be Plan B for me this year. Alternately, there's Plan C and that is to buy more 1x2's and another can of paint. Steve...See MoreBerries birds don't eat
Comments (6)I believe it's the red Aronia I have (which I also think the Latin name has been changed). I bought it because I read that they eat the red one and not the black. Mine has yet to bloom, just bought this spring at a native sale with not much to it, so I can't comment on the fragrance. But I went to another native sale that had the black ones and they smelled heavenly. And of course I went on a day that was for pick-up only. Since it was about a 2 hour drive, no way was I going back the next to buy myself one! I guess I should of worded my initial post differently and added in what berries do you find that your birds don't eat, but you have knowledge that they eat them somewhere else or something to that effect...because as Rita pointed out, there are berries that maybe the birds in my back yard won't eat, but they eat them in somebody else's....See MoreDon't Know if You Can Really 'Train' Palamedes Cats to Eat Sassafras..
Comments (6)You understood me exactly right, four. It would be better for palamedes swallowtails if they'd lay at least part of their eggs on sassafras, which, so far, hasn't suffered from the red bay disease. The two cats in the picture both ate a LOT of sassafras, pupated, and made perfect palamedes swallowtails, one male and one female. I've known for a long time that palamedes cats would gladly eat sassafras, but I've never found any palamedes eggs or cats on sassafras, so the females apparently don't consider it for egg laying, at least so far. Unfortunately, I've seen very few palamedes swallowtail adults since those two emerged. I saw one a couple of weeks ago, and I think I saw one crossing the road today. I've looked on the redbay regrowth at the base of the dead trees and haven't found any eggs or cats. I found a spicebush cat on some sassafras in my garden, but it's definitely a spicebush cat.
