Digging Into The Modern Homestead Garden
Homesteading used to mean breaking ground in a new location, possibly deeded by a government for settlement, and improving the site for agriculture primarily. A homestead garden was a necessity, often making a difference in whether the homesteaders survived or perished.
The modern homestead is less critical and more of a lifestyle choice or a moral obligation. Living more self-sufficiently has many rewards, both financial and spiritual, and it begins with growing some of your own food.
This book outlines the first steps on that journey, whether it begins on an acreage or an apartment patio, with instructions on figuring out where to grow what and how, and then how to cultivate, tend, harvest and store the fruits of your garden.
