Food for Free (Collins GEM)by: Richard Mabey August 02, 2004 |

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it ...

This is a much more practical and detailed book than anything else currently available on the subject. It's up to date and based on real experience which is more than one can say for some of the trendy television-linked books. If you're a smallholder, intending or existing, this is the book you need.

If you even have a slight leaning towards 'self sufficient' lifestyle, this book is invaluable.
Well laid out and illustrated as you would expect from DK, but stuffed with useful information from the one and only John Seymour. Buy this book, The Complete Guide to Self Sufficiency and The Fat of Land and will have all you need to know about this way of life. >>More Details |

A standard work often provided in starter kits and it covers the basics in a simple easy to read fashion. Katie Thear is an experienced keeper and she includes some useful tips she's picked up from her own experiences. However I find the subject poorly researched and the information rather sketchy in places and lacking in consistency. It's rather like she has written it just from her own knowledge and experiences only. Some areas she dwells on in uneccessary detail for beginners needs while others which need a more detailed explaination are just skimmed over. There's also some uneccessary padding with brief chapters on showing and breeding which aren't of much interest to beginners and don't contain enough detail to enable anyone to get involved anyway. ...

I've read at least 10 pig books in the past couple of years, but this gets my vote as the best one for the small-scale pig keeper. Covers everything you need to know (including what to do if you have to raise piglets without the mother's help, something a surprising number of books ignore) without going into too much mind-boggling detail. There are a lot of great pig books out there, but most of them are aimed at pig farms. This is more geared towards the smallholder, pet pig owner or hobbyist. And isn't the pig on the front cover just great?!!!

Five Acres and Independence: Practical Guide to the Selection and Management of the Small Farmby: M.G. Kains September 03, 1973 |

...did you really think you would get that from a book anyhow? Really aimed at getting US workers back to the land in the depression (and look at how successful that was!), it's nevertheless a good warning of pitfalls for the unwary.

This is an excellent purchase, what would you get for under a fiver nowadays? As a novice gardener I found the chapters on planning the gardening year and getting the most from your land absolutely vital.This guide covers the basics in a very comprehensive manner indeed and although a little lacking in the visual side of things the quality of information contained more than compensates.The brief guide to vegetables is excellent and I can safely say this guide will continue to be used as a reference even after my garden is well established.Worth every penny.

This is an incredibly useful guide if you want to be more self-sufficient. It has sections on generating your own power, recycling, organic gardening, animal husbandry, brewing and preserving produce. The layout of the book is very clean-looking with simple, clear diagrams. I have looked at a number of different books on self-sufficiency and this is definitely one of the best.

For a complete starter to raising livestock this book is easy to read and understandable. A little outdated with regards to the pictures but the information is a great starting point. Following on from this book we have taken a pig husbandary course which brings it all together.
