Почему свободный выгул кур разорит вас: прекратите это делать на малом участке

Free-ranging chickens on a small plot is a popular myth that costs poultry farmers too much. In this episode, we'll explore why haphazard pasture feeding on an area of ​​up to two acres doesn't reduce feed costs but instead destroys your garden and soil. You'll learn how a simple flock of six hens can trample a lawn to a desert in a matter of weeks and scorch the soil with excess nitrogen. We'll debunk popular online advice and turn to the proven experience of the classics of twentieth-century organic farming. Effective poultry farming relies not on complete freedom for the birds, but on properly managed rotations and portable enclosures. We'll walk you through the step-by-step process of the chicken tractor method and the proper use of green manure for simultaneously feeding the flock and preparing garden beds. You'll see how to harness your chickens' natural instincts to benefit your garden without the use of commercial chemicals or heavy manual labor. We'll also discuss creating sectional pens around a permanent chicken coop and integrating a compost pile into the run area.
