Tom,

Are you familiar with GAP (Good Ag Practices) as it pertains to entry of animals into your produce growing areas?

I have been considering fencing in my asparagus and putting some birds of some sort to eat the asparagus beetles after the harvest period. Maybe some weeder ducks.

Does anyone have experience with guinea fowl as consumers of various 

pests in the garden?  Cucumber, squash and asparagus beetles have been 

a significant problem in our gardens this past season.  Do guinea fowl 

significantly reduce the pest populations?  Do guineas have their own 

problems -- such as damaging some or all crops, etc?  Many thanks for 

any advise that may be offered.  Tom (central NC, zone 7)
