10 Comments on “The Beginner’s Guide to Backyard Homesteading

  1. I am restricted where I live from having a garden big enough to produce any useful amount of food but once I am able to move I plan to buy where I can grow a garden for real. I need ideas so I know what to look for before I purchase.

  2. I have very little gardening experience so I would love to learn more! I would also like to learn to raise chickens!

  3. I don’t have a lot of property, but I’m doing all I can to be self-sufficient. I have approx. 1/5 of an acre, but I add a little something new to my backyard every growing season.

  4. This book is the one I need! I am retiring, and could use all the help I can get in order to do things right on my small 5 acre homestead

  5. I come from a long line of farmers but my parents walked away from that life. The knowledge wasn’t passed down to me and my parents won’t share any information. My dream is to be a homesteader and live a life off grid as much as possible. Your book would help me get there. I’ve been trying to gather as much information as possible, but getting the information straight from someone who lives the life will help decipher conflicting information I’ve seen out there.

  6. I am very interested in Bee Keeping and this book would help me out with learning what I need to do to start.

  7. A large backyard is all I have but that is not going to stop me to start growing my own veggies. Playing with the idea of adding some small animals but have to think that trough very carefully. This book would absolutely help me do that.

  8. This book looks so intriquing! I always think you have to have a large parcel of land to actually homestead. I don’t want to be limited by my space; I want to “homestead” in any way I can, so this book looks like a great read.
