Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Barbara Money <bmoney9@verizon.net>]

Diane, I have that book! and I find Carol Deppe's insights pretty 
interesting, though being in the Northeast, some of her methods won't 
work here; winters are too cold for one. I know she favors ducks; but 
the folks around here I asked about ducks said they are messy (the, er, 
fertilizer is wetter) and they need a pond or pool, and their meat is 
greasy. I've actually cleaned chickens as part of a commune run by a 
religious outfit, not slaughtered though; the guys did that part, and 
the plucking. Anybody have any thoughts about these objections to ducks?
