Mini Farming: Self-Sufficiency on 1/4 Acre
Description
This practical guide presents a complete, manageable approach to growing much of a family’s food on as little as a quarter acre. It walks aspiring small-scale farmers through the essentials, from choosing and saving seeds, starting seedlings, building raised beds, and improving soil to composting, crop rotation, and managing pests and diseases. The book also expands beyond the garden with guidance on backyard chickens, home canning, farm planning, and the tools and materials needed for efficient production. Clear instructions, photographs, tables, diagrams, and illustrations make its vision of greater self-sufficiency accessible even to beginners, while also exploring how a small homestead can generate supplemental income.
