Awesome!
Everything you need to start living off your backyard is right here in this book, it was everything I was looking for and more! Great up to date information on having a sustainable back yard with helpful tips and tricks that I look forward to using. Its a bit nerv wrecking to think about starting up all this hard work and juggling all the different areas of your yard that require work and attention but this really made it organized and had thorough information from calculating from start (preparation) to finish (obtaining self sufficiency). Great narration as well that made it easy to follow. I have lots of notes and I am excited to get startedH. Highly recommend!

Wealth of knowledge
Before listening to this book, I hadn't the foggiest on how to sufficiently live off my land. I thought it was near impossible to do in this modern age.
I was wrong. It's very possible if you're willing to learn about it and put the effort in and make it succeed. This is a long task to get started and upkeep but it will be extremely worth it and pay itself off 10,20,30 fold (even more!).
Much like anything, there's a learning curve but this will teach you the basics, much of it you'll learn through taking action! If you've ever wanted to give this a go, I'd recommend it! Start small, grow upwards. Slow and steady :)

Excellent for Aspiring Urban Homesteaders
This is an excellent resource as a clear, step-by-step guide to incrementally moving toward an urban homesteading lifestyle. It's great for beginners and intermediate-level learners who want to know more about the process. The book is very comprehensive and covers a lot of ground, but it is easy to understand and follow. I think this skill (over urban gardening) is going to be even more important the more people learn that our society's food sources are compromised and unhealthy. I highly recommend this book if you want to know more about how to shift to a healthier lifestyle.

Ready to start!
A very good read (listen?). There is a LOT of information contained here. It is a soup to nuts run down of considerations for an urban homestead. From personal experience, the section on permitting and zoning is something everyone should take into account. In this book you learn what it takes to be on your own, if that is your desire, or just how to reduce your reliance on the current system. It serves as a great checklist of ideas and considerations. Well done!
