Warning, copious funny chickens shots will ensue...
Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Hi there - I'm brand new here, but got here via one of your comments on another site (two men and a little farm). I'm looking into doing the large, galvanized bathtub style beds for some bamboo... Sorry, this comment has nothing to do with chickens, but I guess I'm just trying to touch base with someone who has some experience... :)
ReplyDeleteHi there, SoLow! Thanks for popping over! While we don't grow bamboo here (it's just way to dry to be sustainable), given our experience with our galvanized tub, I'd say it would work out well for you since it will hold water well and bamboo needs to stay very moist. I would recommend putting some plastic bottles in the bottom of your tub before putting in your soil as it will wind up being a *lot* of soil which can become very expensive and very heavy ;-)
