all the reviews were about raising chickens, but the book I got was on building a greenhouse Haven’t read anything but the table of contents, but this book is definitely about building and maintaining a greenhouse. Unless there are secret chickens dwelling underneath the plants or the greenhouse itself, I cannot fathom why there are eleven other reviewers blathering about raising chickens. I would have liked to learn about raising chickens, but will see what I can do with the greenhouse advice.
