Welcome to a world where chickens and gardens coexist!
Join Lisa Steele, chicken-keeper extraordinaire and founder of Fresh
Eggs Daily, on a unique journey through the garden. Start by planning
your garden and learning strategies and tips for keeping your plants
safe while they grow. Plant with purpose, choosing from a dozen plans
for theme gardens such as Orange Egg Yolks or Nesting Box Herbs. Or
choose a design that's filled with edibles - sharing the bounty with
your family and your feathered friends. Then comes the fun part: enjoy
the harvest, even let the chickens graze!
Lisa's friendly writing, together with inspirational photos and
illustrations, will have you rolling up your sleeves and reaching for
your gardening tools. Lisa also covers a range of topics just for
chicken-keepers, including:
- Chickens and composting
- Using chickens to aerate and till
- Coop window boxes
- Plants to avoid when you have chickens
- Lists of the most valuable crops and herbs
- Advice on how to harvest and use many of the plants
- And much more!
Whether you're an experienced chicken keeper, master gardener, or just
getting into these two wonderful hobbies, Gardening with Chickens is
an indispensable guide for a harmonious homestead.
