I really enjoyed this book! It has the large size and beautiful pictures of a coffee table gardening book paired with sustainable suggestions and a focus on economic viability. The author is a practicing mini-farmer sharing his expertise and recipe for success. He defines a mini-farmer as a gardener with an emphasis on economics. It is easy to develop gardening as a very expensive hobby. This book suggests practices that can turn the costs into profits. By starting your own seeds, planting the maximum amount per square foot and not wasting resources a family of four can raise up to 85% of their food needs on a quarter of a acre. With a little more it is even possible to grow enough to sell or share. In addition to gardening the author also discusses raising chickens for eggs and meat as well as proper preservation methods. If you are interested in raising your own food and saving money doing it, this is an invaluable resource!
