You may be wondering: How to start an urban garden in a small space? What does it take to be self-sufficient?

In a world as highly dynamic as ours, independent living can be an invaluable trait. By employing intelligent tactics and technologies, you can feed your family, eliminate high utility bills, and minimize stress.

  • How to stop eating pesticide-ridden foods from the stores and grow your garden of goodies from your backyard space
  • Ways to live off the grid, including solar power and maintaining water sources
  • How to prepare your backyard for gardening and other essential farming activities, no matter its current use
  • How to raise animals, grow vegetables in the city or on a small plot, and create composting systems for greener lawns
  • How to maximize your available backyard space or farm to ensure you get maximum yields, even if you only have an acre or less
  • How to reduce your utility bill by more than half using readily available (and accessible) resources around your environment
  • And much more…

Living off your backyard may seem impossible, but that’s probably because you don’t have all the information needed to make a sound decision.

This book is filled with ideas on how to live a more minimal, sustainable, and eco-friendly life.

Awesome!

Everything you need to start living off your backyard is right here in this book, it was everything I was looking for and more! Great up to date information on having a sustainable back yard with helpful tips and tricks that I look forward to using. Its a bit nerv wrecking to think about starting up all this hard work and juggling all the different areas of your yard that require work and attention but this really made it organized and had thorough information from calculating from start (preparation) to finish (obtaining self sufficiency). Great narration as well that made it easy to follow. I have lots of notes and I am excited to get startedH. Highly recommend!

Wealth of knowledge

Before listening to this book, I hadn't the foggiest on how to sufficiently live off my land. I thought it was near impossible to do in this modern age.

I was wrong. It's very possible if you're willing to learn about it and put the effort in and make it succeed. This is a long task to get started and upkeep but it will be extremely worth it and pay itself off 10,20,30 fold (even more!).

Much like anything, there's a learning curve but this will teach you the basics, much of it you'll learn through taking action! If you've ever wanted to give this a go, I'd recommend it! Start small, grow upwards. Slow and steady :)
