Chickens have become the mascot of local food supply movements. All across America municipalities are allowing and even encouraging residents to keep laying hens within city limits. Increasingly, keeping hens is becoming a part of the green movement. Green city managers wanting to save money on solid waste management budgets need only to encourage residents to keep laying hens. Why? Because one chicken eats about 7 pounds of food “waste” a month.

Lifelong gardener Ed Smith became fascinated with the possibilities of self-watering containers and began testing dozens of vegetables in various containers, experimenting with nutrients, soil mixtures, plant varieties, and container positioning. Now Smith is here to tell gardeners that anyone can grow and enjoy wonderful organic vegetables, using pots with continu… More >>
