alexamayiborrowapencil: Ugh, I love them. Chicken menu for today included some awesome grains with carrots, red clover, nettle, garlic and a whole buckwheat plant (greens, flowers and seeds), which is a good calcium accumulator. If I find any slugs or snails in the garden they’ll get those too.  They’ll have more space to forage around soon, but for now they’re doing pretty damn well.

Check out this installation at the Urban Permaculture Institute of the Southeast (See Part II, Part III). The series on an installation done in Asheville is interesting too.
