So I'm building my garden, and about to start planting soon (I'm a little behind schedule). I live in far North Texas, just south of Wichita Falls. I plan to grow what I eat: potatoes, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, beans/peas, okra, and raspberries (in that order of priority)
I have been researching the subject of birds. I have found two basic opinions:
1) NEVER, EVER attract birds to your garden, they will destroy everything, and leave your garden a toxic, smoldering wasteland.
2) ALWAYS, ALWAYS attract birds to your garden, they will transform it into a lush, thriving paradise of pest-free delights.
I've thought about a third option, to attract the birds to a spot 100-200 yards or so away from the garden, so that they will grab the tasty treats and leave my stuff alone.
