Chicken Little the digging machine, on a day trip to Raumati South school. Chickens are ideal for preparing beds as they eat weeds (including oxalis), aerate the soil with their forklike feet, hunt our slugs and snails that like to hide between the soil and the wooden bed edges, and add sprinklings of nitrogen-rich manure. This one even laid an egg, to the children’s delight.
