YOUR FARM IN THE CITY is a one-of-a-kind, all-in-one resource that teaches how to grow organic produce, keep bees, raise chickens, and even run a small farm in any urban environment, from a rooftop or ally to a city lot or suburban backyard. Written for city AND suburban dwellers who may have little experience gardening and farming, the book covers all topics particular to urban agriculture with specific notes for every major climate in the United States. Readers will learn:
* The best, easiest-to-grow, high-yield fruits and vegetables
* Breeds of chickens, goats, and rabbits that thrive in small spaces
* How to keep the lead out of your garden & home
Additional information particular to gardening in a city or suburban space are also included, such as planning and maximizing limited space, building healthy soil, managing irrigation, understanding zoning laws, and being a considerate farming neighbor.
