A Few Tips on Urban Farming in BR
A Few Tips on Urban Farming from Catherine Wheeler
• Many of our popular crops grow best in pots
• If you suffer from back problems or can’t bend
over, raise your pots, using cinder blocks and
treated lumber. Water daily.
• It’s legal in Baton Rouge to keep chickens —
up to three if you have less than one acre. You
must have at least two acres to have a rooster!
• Get your chicks now and have eggs in 6 months!
• Best layers: Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks
• Our local nurseries and garden stores are the best
source of information. Just ask. They’ll help!
