Permaculture Chicken: Pasture Basics
Several of you have emailed
to ask about the next installment in the Permaculture Chicken series. The trouble is
that pasturing is a big topic and I got bogged down in the sheer size
of the undertaking. At the same time, Amazon changed their
policies so I could only cram about 60 pictures into an ebook if I
wanted to keep the price down to 99 cents.
Rather than overwhelming
myself with writing a gargantuan tome all at once (and having to boost
the price), I decided to break pasturing up into two or three
segments. The
first installment,
as the name suggests, is the basics --- why grazing chickens is
different from grazing ruminants, how pasture plants grow in rotational
pastures, and how to keep traditional pastures lush despite chicken
scratching.
Next on my writing
agenda is a sum-up of our fridge root cellar experiments, but after
that I should be back to work on the next Permaculture Chicken
installment --- forest pastures, chicken moats, and more. Thanks
for reading!
