Fixing our Garden

 First Item on my garden fixing list is the bug problem. 

I plan on getting Guinea Fowl.  Guineas eat bugs but don't eat the plants.  They also don't dust bathe, or rip up plants.  While they are running around the garden they help fertilize the garden.

On the plus side they lay eggs and can be butchered for meat.

Second is the Deer problem.  The deer destroyed 70 tomato plants, my corn, peppers, and cool weather crops.  I was not impressed with them at the end of the year.

The plan?  Adding netting over top of the entire garden.  We added netting over the chicken coop with great success!  Now the rest of the garden will get its turn. 

Wow!  When listing the problems I realized that I didn't have as many as I thought!  The problem is I have the same problems over and over again.  What problems do you have in your garden?  How are you fixing them so that you can live a more self sufficient lifestyle?
