You ain't lying about that. I love the idea of fruit trees. We have some in another location on the farm but I may just have to plant some nearby as well! I have a small mulberry I need to put in the ground. Bet chickens would love eating the fallen ones.
I had an empty yard in urban, good sized yard. I planted so many fruit trees the last 2 years, i have so much there's no space. I have jujubes, mulberries (diff kinds), etc, invested more than $10,000 while I eat Ramen noodles for myself. Still pending. It's as addictive as chickens. No more space in yard. I can't wait for mulberries this summer!!!@@SunsetAcresFarm
This setup came with chicken wire but I definitely agree. Hardware cloth would be 100x's better. Our chickens are close enough to the house and since we don't have a bad predator problem I went with the chicken wire that came with the kit, for now.
