Perfect Starting Point for Newbies
I have been growing herbs for the table for some years now. I’ve always wanted to grow my own food and try to waste less, but I had no idea where to begin.
This audiobook gave me a simple, no-pressure intro that made me feel I could pull it off. I appreciated the straightforward tips on composting and making the most of my tiny yard. The kitchen ideas were a fun bonus—I’ve already started two. It didn’t feel preachy or overwhelming, just helpful and encouraging. This is a great place to begin if you’re starting and want to dip your toes into a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

Simple Steps That Actually Work in Small Spaces
I didn’t expect to learn so much with just a small patio garden, but this guide surprised me with how much you can actually grow and create without a full backyard. The composting section was especially useful—it finally made sense of something I’ve been overcomplicating. I also loved the ideas for using kitchen scraps in new ways I hadn’t thought of before. It’s clear and motivating without being overwhelming.

Turned My Tiny Yard Into Something That Feeds Us
I’m not someone who grew up around gardens or knew a thing about composting, but this audiobook actually made it feel doable. I’ve already started growing a few herbs and veggies in containers, and I’m getting way more into the idea of using our space better. There’s a laid-back, practical vibe to it that worked for me—not overwhelming, just helpful stuff I could fit into real life without needing a full weekend and a tractor.

Fresh Eggs, Fresh Herbs, Big Wins
I started with zero experience and a tiny backyard, but this guide helped me kick off a small garden and compost setup without feeling overwhelmed. The tips are practical and easy to follow—even for someone who’s never grown a thing. I’ve already harvested herbs and started experimenting with homemade sauces. It’s made my weekends more fulfilling, and I feel way more confident in trying new DIY projects around the yard. Definitely worth it.

Great for Beginners
I live in an apartment with just a small balcony, and this audiobook gave me so many doable ideas. It breaks down composting, container gardening, and even raising chickens in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming. I especially liked the tips on natural pest control and involving kids in the process. It’s practical, budget friendly, and doesn’t assume you have a big yard or tons of time.

Absolutely love, homesteading!
So grateful for this book! It contained a full breakdown on the various ways to Homestead in a more urban setting. My wife and I really love tomato and potato plants, and the process to help them thrive was very distinct and clear cut! My wife and I plan on getting a few more garden planters for our backyard in order to put into practice some of the tips in here! Very comprehensive for a lot of fruits, vegetables, and even a few small animals. Very enjoyable listen
