Back To The Farm
submitted by BookNerd on July 24, 2017, 9:40pm
Gardening, raising animals, canning, and crafts are thoroughly covered in this book. Although the subtitle is "Living Off The Land", the subject is actually about creating a self-sufficient homestead with modern tools.
Plenty of illustrations and clear, step-by-step instructions make this a useful handbook even if you're just dipping into various skills in an urban setting.
