  • How to lay out your plot including fencing and polytunnels or greenhouses
  • Managing soil fertility
  • Growing fruit and vegetables throughout the year
  • Keeping livestock: poultry, pigs, sheep and goats
  • Producing fish with aquaponics

Filled with practical advice, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to be more self-sufficient and live a more sustainable life.
