I got to the last of the scratch in the feed bin and noticed weevils. AAAACCKK!!! I’m sure the chickens don’t mind a bit of extra protein but overall this is not a good thing. Fixed it! I realized the feed bin is just a larger version of my countertop canisters. Inspiration hit. BAY LEAF!!! I have some. And a handkerchief.
Lay out the handkerchief. Put a bunch of bay in it. Use the scruffy, broken and little ones so you have the big nice ones left for cooking and using in kitchen canisters. Pay no attention to the copper wire in the background. That’s for another Zen Garden project.
Tie 2 opposite ends in a half knot.
Tie the other 2 opposite corners in a half knot. Now the bay is contained in the hankie pouch.
To secure the pouch tie it again.
And again if you like
Toss on top of the scratch in the bin. Just don’t scoop it up when you feed the chickens. It’s been about a week and it seems to be working fine.
