I know Lisa from her classes at the Tilth Children's Garden . . . this is fun, informative, and not-overwhelming. She's into how to be practical with veggies (and urban-appropriate livestock, if that's your thing), not how to build some kind of off-grid utopian thing within city limits. Worth it for the bug information alone . . . näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The most complete book on urban farming, covering everything from growing organic produce and raising chickens, to running a small farm on a city lot or in a suburban backyard. Eating locally and growing one's own food is a rapidly evolving movement in urban settings - Hantz Farms in Detroit has transformed 70 acres of abandoned properties into energy-efficient gardens, and Eagle Street Rooftop Farm, a 6,000-foot vegetable farm in Brooklyn, New York, yields 30 different kinds of produce, while private square-foot farms are cropping up in cities all over the country. Created by Lisa Taylor and the gardeners of Seattle Tilth, Your Farm in the City covers all of the essential information specific to gardening and farming in a city or town. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions guide and inspire even the most inexperienced urbanite in how to grow and harvest all types of produce, flowers, herbs, and trees, as well as how to raise livestock like chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, and honeybees. Important information particular to gardening in a city or town is included, such as planning and maximizing limited space, building healthy soil, managing irrigation, understanding zoning laws, outwitting urban pests, and being a considerate farming neighbor. With 100 two-color instructional illustrations throughout and dozens of vital resources, Your Farm in the City is the most practical, comprehensive, and easy-to-follow guide to the burgeoning trend of urban farming.

This book is written in a very upbeat mood: none of the doom and gloom about the toxicity of the status quo, just exuberance about the possibilities available for growing your own food.
Topics covered include vegetables, fruit, composting, food preservation, small livestock, and season extenders. The gardening information is in-depth but the livestock and food preservation chapters are overviews – enough to get you started but not comprehensive. ( )
