The modern homestead garden : growing self-sufficiency in any size backyard / Gary Pilarchik.

Pilarchik, Gary, (author.).

Summary:

"Modern homesteading is a lifestyle focused on living lightly on the land and increasing self-sufficiency. It doesn’t matter whether “home” is 50 acres in the country, a suburban corner lot, or an apartment in the city; all you need is a desire to reduce your footprint on the earth and live a more sustainable life. To be a modern homesteader, you don’t have to live off-grid and you don’t have to give up contemporary conveniences."-- Publisher.
