  • Comfrey Lined Chicken Tunnel - a concept that combines the benefits of a chicken tunnel with a self-serve salad bar. By lining the tunnel with nutrient-rich Comfrey plants, our chickens will have a constant supply of fresh greens, turning it into a paradise they can freely graze upon. What makes this concept truly remarkable is its self-serve aspect. As the chickens explore the tunnel, they will have unrestricted access.

    First time I heard of chicken tunnels and saw how they could be used, I thought it was an awesome idea. Like the idea of chickens being able to snack on Comfrey from the tunnel. I've grown Comfrey and used their leaves in a chop & drop method to feed other food plants.

      Awesome! Comfrey has so many uses and a great thing to grow. I like it for a mulch and feed supplement for my livestock. 👌

      Right on Denis! That one plant can yield you many. Once you have it you pretty much have it!!

    I’m definitely going to get some comfrey started. I’ve read about it in Permaculture books, but now I see the real world practical use.
    By the way, you look 10 years younger without the beard.

      Awesome Comfrey is a pretty easy and great thing to plant. 👌 Haha on the beard. That's what my wife tells me!

    I didn't know you could propagate comfrey like this! Thank you for the idea!! I planted two plants earlier this year and it took them a bit to establish. We have had a frost here already, so maybe next year!
    p.s. I'm very jealous you can just dig that easily. Our soil here is so rocky you put the shovel in the ground and you hit a rock 99% of the time, it's frustrating haha

      Sometimes I think my soil is tough but I guess I should be thankful!! Comfrey will grow almost no matter what. It just takes longer with the smaller root fragments. Good luck 😉

      @@therealprtrhsenteal I love my new 13 Novagen brown hens btw! They have been great layers and incredibly docile and hardy birds! I really love watching your channel for new ideas, and I’ve just watched them pummel through 6 buckets of wood chips in less than 3 days! Amazing!

      @farmgirl22 love to hear this! Those Novogen Browns are pretty great birds. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback:)

    Is the chicken tunnel a circle of wire, fencing, or an arch somehow secured into the ground????

    • @therealprtrhsenteal
      @therealprtrhsenteal  7 місяців тому

      It is an arch or half circle that is held in between the fence and railroad ties.

    I haven’t grown comfrey. How often do you feed it to the chickens? My ground if full of clay and I struggle with everything but weeds 😅

    • @therealprtrhsenteal
      @therealprtrhsenteal  7 місяців тому +1

      Comfrey will grow well in clay. The root system will help to break up and loosen clay soil. 👌
