Nicki also explains how to rear chickens for eggs and bees for honey, and gives advice on keeping goats and pigs. The benefits of creating your backyard farm are not just economic-the energy once obsessively expended on the exercise bike can now be channeled more productively by digging the vegetable patch, turning the compost, or cleaning out the hen coop. Communities are reappearing over backyard fences as neighbors share their harvest of zucchini, spinach, and eggs. Whatever you choose to grow or rear on your backyard farm, this book offers a taste of the good life that is easy, satisfying, and inexpensive to achieve"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes index. 650 0 $a Organic gardening. 650 0 $a Vegetable gardening. 650 0 $a Fruit-culture. 650 0 $a Bee culture. 650 0 $a Livestock. 650 $a GARDENING / General 650 $a GARDENING / Organic 941 $a 2 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20230425011314.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20220514010217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=248207E0D34B11EC89B31A4336ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
