My gently raised beast: It’s no secret that the digital age has had a significant impact on how we live and work. With so many options available to us, it can be hard to know what’s truly best for us. For many people, this means relying on technology to help them with everything from their work to their personal lives. But is this really the best decision for us? After all, isn’t technology supposed to make our lives easier? In this blog post, we will explore some of the potential downsides of relying too much on technology, and we will suggest ways that you can use it in a way that benefits both you and your loved ones.
My gently raised beast: The Different Types of Raised Beds
There are three main types of raised beds: the hoop bed, the in-ground box bed, and the mound bed.
The hoop bed is a simple form of raised bed that is made by placing a series of hoops around the base of a planting container. The hoops help to stabilize the soil and prevent it from washing away. Because hoops are so easy to construct, they’re a great option for beginners or anyone who wants an easy project.
The in-ground box bed is similar to the hoop bed, but instead of hoops, it uses rectangular frames that are buried beneath the soil. This type of bed is great if you want to grow plants that need lots of space between them (like tomatoes or cucumbers).
The mound bed is my favorite type of raised bed. It’s similar to the in-ground box bed, but instead of rectangular frames, it uses circles or mounds of soil that are slightly elevated off the ground. This type of bed is perfect for growing plants that need plenty of room to grow (like lettuce or peppers).
Pros and Cons of Raising Chickens in a Rooftop Garden
Pros and Cons of Raising Chickens in a Rooftop Garden
Anyone who has ever raised chickens knows that they are adaptable birds. They will tolerate a great deal of different surroundings, from the dense jungle of their native rainforest to the open fields of your backyard. So if you’re looking for an easy way to get some fresh eggs without having to leave your home or go out into the garden every day, raising chickens on your rooftop is a great option.
One big advantage of raising chickens on your roof is that they can provide you with a lot of fresh eggs. A large chicken coop will typically contain around twelve hens and they will lay around two dozen eggs per day. That’s enough eggs to provide you with fresh eggs every day for months on end! Plus, since chickens like to scratch in the dirt and search for food, keeping them up high gives them plenty of opportunity to do what they love.
However, there are also some disadvantages to raising chickens on a rooftop. First and foremost, it can be quite messy up there. Chickens like to scratch in the dirt and manure builds up very quickly on a rooftop if you don’t keep up with it. Also, since chickens tend to be territorial animals, having so many birds living together can lead to conflicts occasionally. It’s important to make sure you have sufficient space for each chicken so that they can all have their own territory without overlapping each other too much.

My gently raised beast: Chicken Breeds for Raising on a Rooftop Garden
Raising chickens on a rooftop garden is a great way to get fresh eggs and meat without having to deal with the hassle of having to feed them. There are many different chicken breeds that can be raised this way, so it’s important to choose one that is suited for your climate and needs. Some of the best chicken breeds for rooftop gardening include the Australorp, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, Araucana, and Polish Black Eagle.
The Australorp is a small breed of chicken that is well-suited for hot climates. They like to forage in trees and shrubs, so they will need plenty of room to run around. Buff Orpington are another great choice for a rooftop chicken because they are both hardy and egg-laying machines. They don’t require as much space as the Australorp does, but they do need some access to sunlight. Rhode Island Reds are also good candidates for rooftop gardening because they are calm birds that don’t require much space or attention from you. They lay medium-sized eggs that are easy to collect.
Araucanas are another good choice if you want something that will provide you with lots of eggs. They aren’t as big as other breeds of chickens, but they make up for it in terms of egg production. Polish Blacks Eagles are perfect if you want a bird that has some fighting spirit. They can be aggressive when defending their territory, but otherwise they’re docile animals that would be great additions
My gently raised beast: How to Feed Your Chickens on a Rooftop Garden
If you’re looking for an easy way to keep your hens fed while you work in the garden, try a rooftop garden. This system is perfect for small spaces or if you want to supplement your bird feed with some fresh vegetables or fruit.
To set up a rooftop garden, start by locating a sturdy piece of wire mesh or fencing that’s at least 4 feet tall and wide enough to enclose all of the birds’ access to the garden. Next, build a platform out of wood, bricks, or other similar materials and place it on top of the mesh. Make sure the platform is big enough for all of your birds to comfortably stand on and get their food.
Now fill the platform with fresh vegetables, fruits, or seeds and water it well. Your chickens will be happy to have access to fresh food without having to go outside.
