The Urban Homestead: Your Guide to Self-sufficient Living in the Heart of the City

I was surfing the web for info on chickens and gardening when i tripped over this blog post. The book sounds exactly what i’m looking for. I can start reading up on this stuff now, so when we get our home we’ll be educated and ready for serious city farming.

Here’s what BoingBoing.net had to say about it:  “The Urban Homestead…is a delightfully readable and very useful guide to front- and back-yard vegetable gardening, food foraging, food preserving, chicken keeping, and other useful skills for anyone interested in taking a more active role in growing and preparing the food they eat. I learned a great deal about composting, self-watering containers, mulching, raised bed gardens, vermiculture (worm composting), and raising chickens by reading this info-dense book.” read more at: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/23/the-urban-homestead.html#previouspost
