About this listen

What if everything collapsed tomorrow? What if the shelves on the supermarket were empty? What if you couldn't get gas for your tiller? What if you didn't stockpile fertilizer...or water? What if you've never even planted a garden in your life...and your life depended on growing your own food?

Don't panic!

Grow or Die: The Good Guide to Survival Gardening has the answers. From hand tools that will till the ground better than a tractor, to plans for growing all the calories you need in a crisis, to easy-to-follow crop rotations that will beat the pests, this book is the cheapest insurance you can own against the crash we all know is coming sooner or later.

You'll discover how to scrounge for seeds in unlikely places, how to till without a tiller, how to preserve your harvest, how to beat pests without poison, how to convert a lawn into a food factory, and how to garden to survive in emergencies and crises.

Expert gardener David the Good, author of the best-selling Compost Everything: The Good Guide to Extreme Composting, has written the gardening book that could one day save your life. Easy to follow and entertaining, Grow or Die doesn't bog down in the technical details, but focuses on how you can turn your garden into a tool for survival. It's perfect for those interested in preparedness, low-tech gardening, and living with a lighter, more ecologically sustaining footprint.

Entertaining and Informative

David is ridiculous, funny, and ridiculously funny. This is a great book to listen to while out in the garden, something fun to absorb while you weed and dig. 👌🏽

Great book for beginner preppers!

One of the best books I have found for a beginner prepper such as myself. I can't wait to purchase my first broadfork.

Loved it so much, I bought it twice

This audiobook is informative and entertaining. If you’re a beginning gardener, you may find (like I did) that you really need the hard copy version for the useful lists and illustrations (well described by the author/narrator in the audio version). Excellent source of useful information in growing foods that can help you survive whatever life throws at you!

Informative and Entertaining!

If you could sum up Grow or Die in three words, what would they be?

Informative, Entertaining, Practical.

What did you like best about this story?

The practical, down to earth advice the author gives about permaculture and preparing for disaster.

Which scene was your favorite?

The author's hate for Tomatoes and Squash!

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

The use of permaculture and selecting certain plants for survival. Choosing plants that produce a lot of produce quickly and easily. Also, selecting plants that will produce the most nutrients for you.

Any additional comments?

Loved the book! Downloading his other book "How to Grow Your Own Food Forest."
I also live in Florida. I am a novice gardener so I would like to meet David someday and learn more from him.
