I have read that in the south it was common to have
the garden in 3 sections. One would have chickens for a year.
Following chickens would be peppers and tomatoes and other garden crops that are
sensitive to nematodes. The next year would be corn, less sensitive to the
growing nematode population. Then chickens again to kill the weeds,
fertilize and let the ground lie fallow to kill nematodes.
Actually ducks are much better
for slug control and don't scratch, but they waste too much water to be
practical in the kind of severe droughts we've been going
through. Donna
