Even after decades of farming and living a close to self-sufficient life, we still benefit from different methods. I love seeing a new book on this topic because I always end up finding a new helpful tip or maybe a dozen! <i>The Essential Guide to Self-Sufficient Living</i> did not disappoint. I particularly found the "growing things" section helpful with the tips on pest control. While this book could be the only book you need on living a more sustainable life, it will also compliment any other volumes you already have on hand. From growing veggies to keeping bees, and keeping chickens to home canning, you will love having this book on your shelf." --Janet Garman, author of <i>50 Do-It-Yourself Projects for Keeping Chickens </i>and <i>Timber Creek Farm </i>blog<br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Abigail R.
