The Self-Sufficient Backyard Standard Edition

This is a good buy for people who want to grow a garden but don't think they have enough acreage to have a garden. It helps people utilize the yard to garden weather it be herbs, fruit, veggies, or flowers

The seller was amazing! The first book got lost in the mail and they sent another one to us. The book is wonderful and full of wisdom and super helpful tidbits.

The cover is torn, but all the pages inside are intact, and most importantly, the delivery was very fast.

Great knowledge and helps with planning.

I am enjoying this book. Some things I can’t utilize because I don’t live off grid I live in a small town where it may not be permitted. I’m utilizing what works now and will incorporate others along the way. Thanks

The book could have been more informative out actually being a self sufficient backyard homesteader. It was more of a narrative of the experience of the two authors. Had I know that I would have chosen a different avenue. Was seeking more of a how to book, not a see what we have done for 20+ years.
