Save yourself from more than half of the trouble most beginning and advanced homesteaders have to deal with.

Homestead gardening has exploded over the last few years. One in three US households now gardens to provide food for their families.

There are a variety of reasons why people are getting into gardening in such numbers. At the top of the list is that you can ensure the quality and nutrition of their fruits and vegetables. You also maintain control over where and how they’re produced so they know they’re safe.

Additionally, homestead gardening can save you a lot of money. Did you know that for the required purchases to garden, the average grower experiences a return of investment of over 700%?

Homesteaders also report a psychological satisfaction that comes from working the land to provide for their own food.

If you have a garden or are considering one, now is the perfect time to start or take it to the next level. Optimizing your efforts provides superb results that no grocery store could ever compete with.

It’s also the start of a self-reliant lifestyle because once you get proficient in gardening for food, it has real economic benefits both meeting actual needs and saving money.

Are you wondering if this kind of gardening will work in your backyard?

The answer is 100% yes, it will work, because there are plants and gardening techniques that work for all sorts of living situations.

Informative and effective guide

If you're looking for projects to beef up your homestead, this is a great book to have! It provides material lists, instructions to help you with each project. Can't wait to build my arbor, bug the concrete block planters are first on my list!

It is definitely in the beginners category

It is definitely in the beginners category. It gives you a good understanding of how to take on small projects like raised beds, and trellis. For the bigger projects it gives you a decent starting point.

I love this book

I love this book. It has some fantastic ideas I hadn't thought of before... it gave us exactly what we needed when figuring out how to have water lines brought to animals and not having them freeze during the winter.

Fantastic and amazing

Easy to follow instructions. Actually learned a few new ways to create a better garden area. Nice to have in my prepper library.

Increíble!

La cantidad de proyectos en este libro es asombrosa. Hay mucho que construir de lo simple a lo complejo. Todo se presenta con diseños fáciles de seguir, junto con una lista completa de piezas y materiales para comprar. El comienzo del libro tiene buena información para el principiante sobre cómo trabajar con madera y qué herramientas necesitará para ayudar a la construcción en general.

Very helpful and reasonable.

The projects turned out to be much more than "beginner friendly" than I was looking for. I was also expecting some practical ideas for frugal homesteading projects. These all require a lot of new materials and fairly high skill level.

Excellent

So many different projects, so little time. Many good ideas are presented. The instructions are clear, and the projects are do-able for the average homeowner. Can't wait for spring!

I enjoyed from cover to cover

I enjoyed from cover to cover. I even grew up on a farm, and learned things I'd never knew or had ever heard of.

¡Excelente recurso para ideas!

¡Excelente recurso para ideas! Incluso si no utiliza los planes exactos contenidos en este libro (y contiene las listas de materiales EXACTOS, las medidas y las instrucciones para hacer cada trabajo grande y pequeño) le dará ideas sobre cómo arreglar su jardín / granja.

It explains almost everything you needed

It is what I've used to find all my needs in my attempt to have a homestead of my own. However, everyone should know, the information in this book is a little limited in detail, meaning more research will be required
