You're spending at least 10 percent of your monthly income on food that you can actually grow in your backyard. Highest-quality organic vegetables, flavorful freshly picked herbs and mouth-watering fruit - you can have all of these for free.

Don't you think your backyard is a waste of time and space right now? Well, then transform it into a garden that produces thousands of dollars' worth of food every year. This audiobook will show you exactly how to do it - from planning your new backyard homestead to enjoying your first harvest.

This audiobook will help you:

  • Transform your boring backyard into a lush garden full of your favorite veggies and fruit.
  • Keep your plants happy and healthy with organic gardening tricks that pro gardeners swear by.
  • Liven up your homestead with chickens and rabbits, providing your family with excellent organic meat.
  • Enjoy your homegrown food all year round with tried and tested freezing and canning techniques.

I have really enjoyed this book for its overall.

I have really enjoyed this book for its overall content. I will keep this one for years to come as a reference. We don't have a farm but do have over an acre of land and are able to use some of the suggestions given here.

What a great Audible!

I received this audible as a Secret Santa gift and love it! I asked for an audible on vegetable gardening and this audible fits the bill and is so much more! There are so many more things to learn as opposed to just gardening. It has a section on composting, using solar panels, and even making your own kites.

If you want depth on anything, keep looking.

Great book, lots of info. I have a small library of books on self-sufficient living. This book is focuses just on the area of food production and use, including vegetables, fruit, nuts, eggs, dairy, poultry & meat. I have found it to be useful.

Great Overview

Although this audible isn't thorough as many other reviewers have mentioned, it does provide an amazing overview of possibilities for someone who is just diving into sustainable living. I listened to this audible with my family and we loved it, especially the full-colour photos.

Excellent

This is a great, in-depth audible. It's helped me figure out a lot of things to deal with my crappy yard and how to stop eating preserved food.

Beautiful Compendium!

With DIY projects on the upswing and my interest hitting all over the board, my audible buying was getting out of control, until I picked up Homesteading. The audible is huge and beautiful, with tons of full-colour photos and a super useful index.

General, but worthy...

Wow! What a great range of topics - from growing veggies and keeping animals, to ways of harnessing types of Mother Nature's energy, and even info on massage and herbal teas and medicine - so cool. I love the beautiful displays of colour photos and how-to illustrations.
