Just found your video but I have a suggestion about chickens in your planters……find willow limbs or regular branches and place around in the pot edge and they’ll stay out….also take narrow pieces of wood and make a fence around the edge tying jute around it in whatever design you do….the plants grow thru it but before that the chickens won’t like the barrier and should stay away. Another idea is to buy a electric portable fencing as homesteaders do and move the chicken run around fertilizing and trimming the grass but don’t let them stay too many days in one spot. Your planter around the patio maybe place some of those stones on top of the mulch to keep them out. We get cats from the farms come and use our beds as litter boxes……I lay pine cones and put curly sticks in my pots…the beds get dark tulle you can buy cheap from Amazon by the yard and place around the beds……buying black would match your mulch…..this year I’m placing black cloth grow bags around my sitting area which use to have a swimming pool…..taking a round outdoor rug and placing it in the middle then the bags around as a border incorporating some old wood boxes for planters and some height. I’m using your idea for the pole bucket to hang lights off of …setting the bucket inside a box then having plants cascading down over the edges…. We are not raising chickens anymore…..too many predators and a lot of work so I buy from local egg sellers. Also we like to camp and no one is near us to farm sit.

To keep chickens out of your tub flowers, make a decorative chickenwire cloche to go over the plants. Use heavy guage wire as a frame, or go rustic and use willow or branches from your yard (or the neighbor's yard) to create a frame, then line the frame with chicken wire and secure it to the post and over the pots. For the border, create a hoop cloche or if the chickens ignore the hosta leaves and just prefer the dirt, lay chicken wire over the dirt in 8x18-inch strips tacked down with turf staples. Overlap the strips and place around the stems of the potted plants (seeded plants with grow up through the wire). When you need to dig up of plant a new plant, just pull up the 8×18 strips overlaying the dirt you need access to. Chicken wire will also prevent squirrels from digging up fresh bulbs.

You could try using bird netting or chicken wire over top of your plants to keep the chickens out. It might not be as pretty to begin with but once your plants begin to grow and get taller they will grow through the wire or netting and it will barely be noticeable then. I've done this in the past when we had chickens and it worked well for me. I mean the chicken are mostly after the insects and worms in the soil. That's for your flower containers, but I don't know what to do for the larger plants such as Hosta. Sorry. Maybe some help is better than no help. lol xx
