Chicken Garden

I finally got some of my chicken garden planted. I included/am including echinacea, rose plants, marigold, wormwood, calendula, spearmint, catnip, chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, lemon grass, and lemon balm. These plants are all chicken-safe and are an excellent natural anti-parasitic.

Worm Poop, Aka, Worm Castings

Worm castings, or "worm poop," is a wonderfully rich and nutritious additive to gardens and potted plants. Worm poo doesn't burn plants but is safest used as a top dressing to prevent any root damage (in my opinion). When you water plants/gardens top dressed with worm poo, the nutrients soak down through the soil with each watering.

You may be wondering, "WHERE IN THE HECK DO YOU FIND WORM SHIT???"

You can buy it at many gardening centers for $10-15 dollars a bag, which is  CRAZY... Or... You can raise your own worms and collect their "poo," which is free:). Free sounds like a much better option to me!!!
