hsifengI don't think I want goats, chickens and ducks in my backyards...but they might be tasty!
As for the rest: I actually agree with the thoughts going on behind this family's vision, if in less idealistic way. No, I am not going to go vegetarian (although I have nothing against those who are), but I do want to up my plant intake and cut back on the meat based products. No, I am not going to start using a solar oven, but an earth oven would be LOVELY (if I can just figure out the "burn days" issues here in our smog infested central valley).
Lots to think about, and lots of good examples of garden layout ideas...
On the other hand, I *did* grow up on an organic family farm, so I have a pretty reasonable idea of just how much WORK can be involved in this process. Hence the Ruth Stout method!
