About this ebook
You can grow all the fruit and vegetables your family needs, raise animals for meat and eggs, keep fish and bees, and even produce firewood on a plot of land of just one acre or less – alongside your work and family life.
Whether you have a garden, a paddock or perhaps the corner of a field, Sally Morgan guides you through:
- How to lay out your plot – including fencing and polytunnels or greenhouses
- Managing soil fertility
- Growing fruit and vegetables throughout the year
- Keeping livestock: poultry, pigs, sheep and goats
- Producing fish with aquaponics
Filled with practical advice, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to be more self-sufficient and live a more sustainable life.
