    Great pictures! My chickens ate the collards. Have to build cages over the raised beds or they can't free range.
    How much space do you have?

    I agree with Jenna. Great pictures! I'm also interested in permaculture, and would love to do over my front yard. Keep us posted with your progress through pictures. Do you have or have you read the book Gaia's Garden?
