Summary

Do you know exactly where your last meal came from? Just how ethical was it? 

Fifty-one percent of people say they’d be willing to pay more for foods that have a less damaging impact on the environment...but what if you didn’t have to? What if the answer to a more ethical and sustainable life was right in your backyard?

Perhaps you thought your backyard was too small for growing vegetables. Perhaps you thought you lacked the knowledge and skills to grow delicious organic produce in your own garden.

The truth is, humans have been growing food for more than 20,000 years. We are adept at this, and no space is too small.

Imagine being able to guarantee that everything on your plate was chemical-free and homegrown.

In The Backyard Garden: A Beginner’s Guide to Self-Sufficient Mini Farming, you’ll learn everything you need to get started on your journey toward full self-sufficiency. You’ll discover:

  • How to turn even the smallest space into a bountiful farm 
  • A bulletproof approach to designing your garden for maximum yield 
  • The eight key principles of biointensive farming - and why it will change your life 
  • Everything you need to know for vegetable-growing success 
  • Top secrets for growing fruit in every size of garden 
  • Why your new gardening buddy should be a chicken 
  • A realistic way to rear your own animals for meat with zero experience 
  • A 12-month plan for your garden 
  • Organic pest control secrets 
  • Tricks to make your garden do most of the work for you
  • And much more

Many of us wish we knew more about where our food came from, so why aren’t more of us growing our own?

If you’re ready to begin your journey to self-sufficiency, click “Buy Now” right now. It’s time to say good-bye to the supermarket.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Informative

This is a book that lays out in moderate detail the requirements of planting a garden in your back yard. You have to look at the included .PDF file for some aspects of design, but that is fine. The various elements of where to place the garden, how to decide in ground, raised bed or greenhouse are discussed.

Also covered are how to proved nutrients and water. While none tell you specifics for any one type of plant they do give you general instructions on how to go about determining such things.

Worth the time to listen, even if you have done gardening before.

This book was provided free of charge with expectation of an honest review.
