Join Oliver Liddell and his chooks in the EcoMatters garden as he shares his favourite tips and techniques for growing food in your garden alongside chickens.

Learn how garden ecosystems can meet the lifestyle needs of poultry, reduce care requirements, and result in healthier, more productive birds.

Drawing from permaculture principles, discover the best ways to harness the natural behaviours of chickens to complete garden tasks such as weeding, composting, fertilisation and pest control.
