RE: Master Class On Making Compost
My first little foray into permaculture was to transform a yard that had been overgrown for years with "lasagna mulch." The life that swarmed under that layer of cardboard was amazing, and I literally went from waist high weeds to a bountiful garden in one year.
That is a great technique and makes for some great soil. Here's a post about reclaiming a weed infested piece of land and transforming it into a thriving vegetable garden using chickens.

"The grass is greener where you water it" - lol!
Salatin is a genius IMO. He is the one who took it from small, hobby farming to massive food production. I do the pasture penning thing for my meat birds and have free ranged my layers in the past, but we plan to switch to a paddock system this year. I took last year off, no chickens at all. It was really nice not having chicken poop just everywhere and I do not want to go back to that lol!
I like Salatin. He is one of the best.
