		<description>I am a long time small flock chicken keeper with extensive food production gardens and when talking/teaching folks new to the concept of urban homesteading, I discourage book buying. It is often an impediment to actually doing it. 

Your book was on the new book shelf at my local library and almost left it on the shelf. Then I merely flipped through the pages expecting more fancy pants dreaming sort of thing.

Holey Moley! This is a fantastic book. The basics are covered in an easy to grasp manner, the sidebars and captions are funny (yea!) and useful. USEFUL! 

The stories of folks with remarkable garden/chicken schemes in place are motivating. While it&#039;s obvious that most of them had the hard cash to get set up, just about everything in here is doable on a smaller budget.

I learned the hard way, this book would have saved me a year or two of stumbling. 

People thought I was crazy to let the chickens into the gardens to help earn their own keep. Thank you for showing how it can best be done.

Now, I&#039;ve got to copy and paste this review into Amazon, shoo the chickens out of the cucurbit garden, where they are currently feasting on Army worms and Leaf Footed bugs, and get them over to the keyhole compost for some tilling!

And return the book to the library so the next person can grab it.</description>

		<description>[...] Jessi Bloom&#8216;s new book Free-Range Chicken Gardens seems sure to be a new bestseller, because while the backyard-chicken trend has taken off, nobody has really stepped up to offer guidance on some of the issues common to owners of free-ranging hens, until now. In just four years of keeping my own tiny flock, I’ve had run-ins with predators, plants scratched into oblivion and all of my blueberry bushes stripped bare. Gardening with chickens can be a challenge! [...]</description>

		<description>HI Erika~
Thanks for commenting!  I will probably be in Portland sometime this spring and I will be updating my speaking calendar so keep an eye out-- Powells has been mentioned a few times :)  Interesting coincidence..  I am a student currently at OSU also! I&#039;m taking the PDC and Permaculture Design Theory with Andrew Millison and Marisha! Fun stuff :)
Cheers,
