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.

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

Absolutely love, homesteading!
