Synopsis
With the rapid depletion of our planet's natural resources, we would all like to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle. But in the midst of an economic crisis, it's just as important to save money as it is to go green. As Gehring shows in this thorough but concise guide, being kind to Mother Earth can also mean being kind to your bank account! It doesn't matter where your homestead is located--farm, suburb, or even city. Wherever you live, The Homesteading Handbook can help you: * Plan, plant, and harvest your own organic home garden. * Enjoy fruits and vegetables year-round by canning, drying, and freezing. * Build alternate energy devices by hand, such as solar panels or geothermal heat pumps. * Differentiate between an edible puffball mushroom and a poisonous amanita. * Prepare butternut squash soup using ingredients from your own garden. * Conserve water by making a rain barrel or installing an irrigation system. * Have fun and save cash by handcrafting items such as soap, potpourri, and paper. Experience the satisfaction that comes with self-sufficiency, as well as the assurance that you have done your part to help keep our planet green. The Homesteading Handbook is your roadmap to living in harmony with the land., Here is a full-color guide to help you and your family to be kinder to Mother Earth, while being kind to your bank account!

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Book is very old and frail.

    Book is in poor condition. The pages are ready to fall out. I have to be very careful reading the sections I am interested in.
