Build your way to a more self-sufficient
lifestyle with step-by-step projects for backup and supplementary
utilities including independent water, heat, and electricity growing and
storing food, raising small livestock, beekeeping, and more. Many of
the projects require basic materials available at your everyday home
center, but this book also provides valuable DIY resources for solar,
hydro, greenhouse, and gardening needs.
This book will help you build security with utility backup systems and
become more sustainable, resulting in less dependence on city systems
for basic needs. Whether you have a city plot or simply pots, this book
includes all of the information needed to plan, build, and succeed with
greater self-sufficiency.
For all those who have started growing their own, here are 25 ways to
help you on your way to the good life. Being self-sufficient is a
lifestyle choice that helps the environment and keeps you healthy and
fit. Learn how to save water, make compost, build a compost bin,
planters, raised beds, a greenhouse or hoop frame and a cold frame. On
the gardening front learn how to grow and transplant seedlings. Discover
how to preserve what you have grown, set up a root cellar. Find out
about raising animals. Build a chicken run and beehive. See the benefits
of going solar to provide heat and light for the house.
This book covers many things, it is particularly good on the building
side - the instructions for making frames etc are very good. Then it
dabbles in raising animals and solar power and I think these things are
not as well covered a they could have been. I see this as a book about
making objects that facilitate growing, a subject it covers admirably.
