Since I no longer have any chickens, there is an unused chicken pen
in the back of the garden.   The soil is extremely good in there, with
all the fertiliser and straw rotted in to the ground, so something
has to be done with it.

As I only have a very small area for raspberries and strawberries,
it seems a good idea to utilise the posts and wire around the pen
to build a new soft fruit area.

Bird netting will be added to the chicken wire, and the pen is already
tall enough to walk in.    In summer, we will be able to have shade
cloth above the netting, so hopefully, it will be a successful venture,
and plenty of fruit will be forthcoming.

The area will be big enough to have a couple of rows of raspberries,
which will be tied to stakes, instead of growing wild as they have
been allowed to in the past.   The strawberries will have a bigger
patch to spread in also.

Of course, before all this can be done, the old shelter, and the
chicken coop will have to be removed, as well as a couple of
geranium plants and a tree wormwood which we grew in there
to give some shade to the hens.

Now to find the time to get all of this done………
