Any one who has owned a labrador would be aware of their insatiable drive for food along with cuddles and affection ... currently if Jake (the labrador) thinks the chooks are getting a reasonable bounty of fresh scraps (he loves vegetables particularly carrots and broccoli stems) he’ll decide he needs his fair share and literally try and dig under the fence – the seedlings planted there just don't stand a chance…as I filtered through the pile of earth this morning picking out the green bean seeds I has planted two weeks ago I was contemplating how well turned the soil was……now the question is how to get him into useful production!
