Description
Systematically and thoroughly, this hefty volume provides information on all aspects of becoming and being self-sufficient. Beginning with an overview that includes an analysis of urban gardens as well as small farms, the meaning of self-sufficiency is fleshed out. One of the nice aspects, though, is the permission to adopt as much (or as little) as you are able/willing to do. With detailed instructions, colorful graphics, and illustrations, the tasks of laying out a garden, making bread, milking a goat, butchering a hog, preserving food, or even providing your own energy seem much more do-able. With features like the illustrated index of vegetables, herbs, and fruits; plant-by-plant growing specifications that include soil, climate, propagation, pests, diseases, harvesting, and storing; as well as detailed sections on raising various animals, this is an invaluable reference. 376 pgs, hc.
Publisher's Description of Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live it
The Self Sufficient Life and How to Live It is the only book that teaches all the skills needed to live independently in harmony with the land harnessing natural forms of energy, raising crops and keeping livestock, preserving foodstuffs, making beer and wine, basketry, carpentry, weaving, and much more. Our 2003 edition included 150 new full-color illustrations and a special section in which John Seymour, the father of the back to basics movement, explains the philosophy of self-sufficiency and its power to transform lives and create communities. More relevant than ever in our high-tech world, The Self Sufficient Life and How to Live It is the ultimate practical guide for realists and dreamers alike.
