exactly what I was looking for!

I have been thinking of getting into urban gardening for some time now. I live in Brooklyn, and am always amazed by my friends and neighbors that have gardens in the city.

This book has completely changed my mind and has made this idea completely attainable. It answered every question that I had, and was very thorough.

A great, detailed, helpful guide to urban gardening :)

Self-sufficiency can transform your life

I gotta say, this book is a goldmine of information on self-sufficiency. It breaks down all the perks of having a self-sufficient house – from living healthier to saving money and more. What's great is that it's loaded with creative tips for making self-sufficiency work, even if you've got limited space.

My favorite part? The book drives home the idea of living greener and more consciously. It's all about gaining that autonomy and being less dependent on others. Sure, self-sufficient living takes some upfront effort and upkeep, but the long-term payoffs in terms of saving cash, being kinder to the environment, and just enjoying life more are totally worth it.

Simplify your life & make it more eco-friendly.

Getting started with your garden and homesteading can be a daunting task, so it's essential to do your research beforehand. Morgan's advice can help simplify your life and make it more eco-friendly and long-lasting.

Self-sufficiency is a hot topic because of the current economic and ecological crisis. However, it may seem impossible only because you lack complete information. This book helps clarify the reality of backyard self-sufficiency.

Innovative strategies and modern tools can help us accomplish much in our quest to live a more sustainable lifestyle if we know where to begin. To become more self-sufficient, we do not need a big farmhouse with acres of pastures. Instead, we can start by establishing a garden homestead, even in an urban environment. We can avoid buying food with pesticides and supply ourselves with healthier food.

Raising animals, gardening, and composting is just the beginning. In addition to better and less expensive food, we can cut our family's spending in half (or more) in fuel and utility costs, such as using solar energy and conserving water.

Morgan has written an excellent book for anybody who wants to be a better citizen on our planet and help yourself to a healthier life simultaneously!
