Berry Tractor

We've had the old chicken tractor from Cathryn and Bryan's behind the hen house for a while. We had a chicken in isolation in it for a while. Mostly it's been empty. After fighting with the bird netting over the blueberries and getting very few strawberries, we decided to use it to plant berries. The biddy wire won't be enough to keep the wild birds out so we'll cover that with bird blocker netting. I want to plant blueberries and maybe blackberries. If it works out we may put in some more berry tractors.

It had a tarp to give the chickens some shelter.

I put the tarp on the ground to kill the grass and weeds.

The tarp is tucked under the frame boards to hold it down. By spring it should be just dirt under there.

I cut off the skid boards that stuck out in front. We won't be dragging it around.
