First
let me state how much I love your website. Thank you so much for
such a wonderful resource.
OK, so I am a restaurant manager
in a suburb of Sacramento. An old farm house converted to a
restaurant, surrounded by old oaks, in a very garden like setting.
One problem, we cant grown any sort of groundcover because of the
towns wild chicken population, they peck, scratch, and destroy
anything planted on the ground, or for that matter even in planter
boxers above the patio doors. So the owner challenged me to find
something for our shady chicken ridden bare ground. Any
suggestions? |
chicken
stew oh, and you might try
herbs, the stinky ones like
thyme
and
Monardella subglabra Mint Bush Description/Order

many
will disappear first night
think tough leaves(Yucca or
manzanita) or stinky leaves
they could care less about
thorns
chicken stew
*Yucca* schidigera
<http://www.laspilitas.com/plants/695.htm> with boulders
around it
anything with soft foliage they'll eat
has to
tolerate chicken poop
boulders/logs really would help protect
plants from feet and beaks
make ground uneven, leaving no bare
ground
then experiment with
Arctostaphylos edmundsii Carmel
Sur *Manzanita* Sur *Manzanita*.

Arctostaphylos densiflora
