This book was everything it promised and more. I really enjoyed each section, even those for which I had no immediate plans. There is A LOT of information here that looks handy, including construction and retrofitting tips for your home and great recipes for household goods and preserving the bounty of your garden for future use. The best part is that they approach self-sufficiency as a lifestyle, not a fad or a DIY weekend warrior project. Therefore, their attitude toward simple living without hardship is reflected in every word. Add the fact that the whole book can be covered in a day or two, and I cannot recommend this book enough.

I bought this book at Borders recently and I don't see anything wrong with pages 24-25. They fit properly within the sections before and after.
With that said, I have only begun to go through this book, but I find it highly informative. This is the stuff our grandparents would have learned growing up on a farm, and its nice to find the basics covered all in one book. The step-by-step illustrations are highly informative and detailed. This book teaches you what all the different construction and harvesting tools are called and what their purposes are. The majority of the book is devoted to food. It explains how to start and maintain a healthy garden or large crop, and how to find all the food you need from nature (of course you ...

This book is one that I regret spending money on......it gave brief descriptions of things you could do like raise chickens. This thin paperback book is very light reading....it is not a how to manual. Don't waste your money on this one.

I love this book. This book made a suburban middle class optometrist's son into a bearded dirty organic farmer. I checked it out of the library and never wanted to give it back. The artwork is fascinating the complex and friendly drawings give a magical life to the text. From the moment I opened the cover I wanted to do everything Mr. Seymour was writing about from plowing a field to butchering a pig to brewing my own beer. Every concievable farm activity was described in loving detail with amazing illustrations as well. The book sucks you right in like nothing else. There is this timeless turn of the century Victorian England countryside aura about the whole thing that is so inviting. I urge you to find a copy and see for yourself. Maybe you ... Read More:

Backyard Self-Sufficiencyby: Jackie French April 18, 1998 Search: self sufficiency |

This thin book is so full of helpful, permacultural advice you'll throw away practically every other book on gardening you have. If I could wholesale order any book and hand it out to every person I met, it would be this one. She teaches you how to make olive oil, tofu, homemade shampoos, how to grow all the vegan food you would ever need right in your backyard, including grains and beans, fruit trees, nut trees, how to make flour of nuts and even pumpkins (!). This is truly a book about creating your own life and becoming self-sufficient, while being sustainable with nature. This is not only the best gardening book I have ever read. It is quite possibly one of the best books I have ever read, period.

It would be difficult to improve or even to add much to a book which covers so many aspects of not just self-seffiency but the basic tenents of good land husbandry. Every aspect of what you may require to manage a 5 acre or 1 acre property with the minimum of outside influence is here. Managing your own small holding is a life-time affair with the land. All the advice on how to go about it is written in this book. I live on seven acres and it is indeed my bible for the land. It also makes very interesting reading even if you cannot be self suffient.
