That was pretty well written, both technically and for flow.

I was expecting it to be a 'let's seed bomb' piece, but it wasn't. I like how they have chickens in the mix too.

I would avoid peat as an amendment unless you know what you're doing. It's high C:N ratio can offset a lot of what you're trying to achieve, but it's wonderful in a situation where you're ok with some tradeoffs and shit is drying out too quickly

Also, welcome to my little nerd-fest, Five-headed god.

Really good article, we try to do everything the lazy way around here and I can confirm that it makes everyone happier. Chickens are healthier and less work when free-ranged, soil gets fatter and nicer every year since we throw every bit of organic matter in and on it that we can find. Costs less, no need for machine use, enormous variety of food in a really small garden.
