Healthy soil and sustainable growing

LOL Norma. You would STILL be hungry even AFTER eating pigeon. Not much 
meat there. You get more food value by feeding the pigeons to the cats 
to keep the cats around to keep the mice out of your grain. The gain in 
grain is greater than the calories from the squab, I think....;-) Costs 
more for a bullet to shoot the pigeon than the meat is worth.
We have mourning doves around here. Same thing, only pathetic sounding.

As for the 10 acres book: I recommend "The Gift of Good Land" by Wendell 
Berry instead. Sure, it might not have all those technical details, but 
it gets you in the mood to do good things with the land and to learn 
from your place. Our ancestors didn't have books, but they made things 
and grew things. Attitude is probably 90% (and hunger).
