We had to put some sort of retaining wall around the the chicken coop since we dug away so much dirt. And we had a ton of big rocks and stones all over the yard. We put the two together, and voila!
Next year when it gets warm again I hope to plant some trailing ground cover in the little patch of dirt there between the gravel surrounding the coop and the rock wall. Of course, in the end it will all look like dirt anyway since those chickens love scratching and kick dirt all over the place!

Your Homesteader
- Aimee
- This is the blog formerly known as “Northwest Meets Midwest,” where I shared about the absurdities and adventures of living in the Midwest (having moved here from the Northwest). But really, this blog has been more and more a story of how we’ve fallen into urban farming and homesteading. So read on and enjoy our adventures in canning, preserving, mushroom-growing, local/organic fanaticism, chicken raising, designing and constructing, sewing, and attempting a little self-sufficiency in our corner of Minneapolis.
