I need to find a way to make more bugs and other sources of good protean for "my girls" (chickens). We seem to keep killing our worms and need to find a way to regulate the temperature and moisture in the worm bins. Another idea is to make a habitate for spiders inside the chicken run so that they can feed on the (few) flys that breed in the compost bin and when overpopulated, become chicken food on the long trek out to find a new home.
<P>
My concern with the spiders is to make darn sure we are attracting the correct types. Black widows are a constant problem around here. I can't seem to find anything about any difference in habitate between standard garden spiders and the black widows. Any ideas? Or other bugs that can be grown without a lot of smell? Snails and slugs would be great, but I don't seem to be able to grow them either. (funny, I sure could grow them when we didn't want them... but after we got the girls, there isn't a one to be found.)
