Synopsis

Designed as a guide to the ‘Good Life’, this information-rich book explores practical routes to greater self-sufficiency, whether you are working with a country garden or a small city backyard. It covers growing fruit and vegetables, alongside advice on harvesting, storing and preserving produce, with methods including bottling, curing, smoking and pickling, as well as brewing beer.

Also included are easy-to-follow instructions for DIY tools and equipment intended to save money, reduce energy consumption and cut back on waste, plus an introduction to keeping livestock such as chickens, ducks, goats and pigs. Alternative energy sources, including solar and wind power, are covered as part of a broader approach to sustainability. Suitable for readers taking their first steps into homegrown food or planning a move towards fuller self-sufficiency.
