This is a great manual for self-sufficiency in Australia, with practical, well-illustrated ideas, advice and instructions on a very wide range of important self-sufficiency subjects. If you had one book to turn to in your self-sufficiency adventure, this one would be a great choice. Included is a wealth of information in a very readable format, with chapters covering everything from building and energy to animal husbandry and craft. Chapters include building, energy and waste; animal husbandry; gardening and crafts and much more.
Here's a sample of what's included: you'll get practical advice on solar, wind and water energy; learn how to make biodiesel; use sand filters for spring water and reed beds to manage waste; set up a well-equipped shed; work with fencing and netting; make charcoal; install small-scale irrigation systems; and crafts including woodworking, mending and working with natural fibres.
Out in the garden there's what vegetables to grow; crop rotation; companion planting; storing the harvest; keeping bees, worms and chickens; and fodder crops to grow. In your eco-kitchen you'll soon be making cheese, brewing beer, curing meat and fish and producing your own natural remedies.
Bursting with ideas, know-how and enthusiasm, this will be both an indispensable guide and an entertaining read for anyone keen on aiming toward self-sufficiency. Well-illustrated throughout with colour photographs and detailed line drawings. 304pp
