You don't need to move to the country to enjoy the good life! This practical guide puts all you need to know to be as self-sufficient as you want to be at your fingertips, whether that means growing a simple herb garden, setting up a greenhouse, composting, keeping chickens (or bees, turkeys, geese, goats or pigs), reducing household water consumption, choosing energy-saving appliances or preserving fruits and vegetables. Alison Candlin, author of Country Skills, recommends starting small, but packs enough photos, diagrams, sidebars, fact sheets, calendars and charts into this fantastic resource to help you dream big, save money, stay organized and, ultimately, become an expert in the art of self sufficiency. Color photos.
