Reclaim Your OVERGROWN Veggie Garden Without Weeding

Описание: Is your garden overgrown and overwhelming? Instead of spending days pulling weeds and turning compost, I let my chickens weed the garden for me. 🐓

In this video, I show you exactly how I reclaim my veggie beds after winter using chickens as natural weeders, composters, and soil aerators. They eat the weeds, fertilise the soil, and even help with pest control—all while having the time of their lives scratching and foraging.

This method saves me days of backbreaking labour and resets the garden in a sustainable, low-effort way. I’ll share the step-by-step process, tips for protecting the plants you want to keep, and the surprising extras chickens can help with (like eating aphids and slugs!).

If you’ve ever wondered how to manage garden overwhelm without endless weeding, or how to integrate chickens into your permaculture system, this video is for you.

👉 Have you used chickens or other animals to help in the garden? Share your stories in the comments—I’d love to hear them!
