Winter Green Notes Winter: growing food for poultry.
Keeping chooks supplies you with organic free-range eggs and chicken manure but other advantages are less obvious. Poultry convert the inedible into the edible, turning kitchen scraps into eggs, reducing the need to compost. Chooks are also very industrious when it comes to catching insects, particularly fruit fly and codling moth. Growing food for chooks reduces feed bills and provides your birds with a healthy, varied diet. The chickens will be happier provided with shade and entertainment and egg quality will be higher.

Fitted Insect Net For Trees
Protect your fruit from all pests! This round one-piece, dome-shape formed net is designed for covering fruit trees up to 2.5 m tall. The sides overlap 600 mm to provide a door which allows for easy access to your crop. Can be placed directly over a tree, gathered around the trunk and tied closed, or use weights to hold it in place. Longevity of this fabric is increased by placing the net over a frame (star pickets with poly pipe is most common) which gives you the advantage of holding the net off the fruit and foliage, and allows the tree to grow without getting tangled up in the net. This also gives greater protection from birds and flying foxes, and less likelihood of snagging or tearing when installing (as soon as fruit is set) or removing (as soon as the crop is fully harvested). Store clean and out of sunlight to extend its useable life. Top panel is 2.4 m diameter with side panels giving you a 2.89 m total height. Made from the same material as the Vege Net: white, UV-stabilised, woven HDPE 2 mm netting, 45 gsm, 21% shade factor. Used to protect crops from insect infestation, sunburn, birds, pests, and temperature extremes.
