What do medium-to-large-sized dogs have to do with gardening?
My gardening skills lie within the black-thumb spectrum, but they’ve improved drastically, thanks to canine assistance! I gladly shared the bounty with Los Angeles’ urban wildlife — but I drew the line when birds and rats didn’t leave anything for my family.
The dogs I’ve cared for greet fertilizer as candy, so I barely use it. Nor do I use pesticides for that, and myriad environmental reasons. All 3 of the wonder doggies I’ve had (a still-missed brother and sister, and now K-D girlie) have helped chase away vermin! K-D challenges everything from squirrels, mice, and rats, to possums, raccoons, and coyotes. Birds, too, get barked at enough to leave off nibbling more than a little of the tasty fruit and veggies.
