Synopsis

Do you know exactly where your last meal came from? Just how ethical was it?

51% of people say they'd be willing to pay more for foods that have a less damaging impact on the environment... but what if you didn't have to? What if the answer to a more ethical and sustainable life was right in your backyard?

Perhaps you thought your backyard was too small for growing vegetables. Perhaps you thought you lacked the knowledge and skills to grow delicious organic produce in your own garden.

The truth is, humans have been growing food for over 20,000 years. We are adept at this, and no space is too small.

Imagine being able to guarantee that everything on your plate was chemical-free and homegrown.

Imagine enjoying produce that you picked fresh just minutes before you cooked it.

Imagine knowing that your family was getting the best nutrient content possible from everything they ate.

Sound time consuming and labor intensive? It doesn't have to be.

In The Backyard Garden: A Beginner's Guide to Self Sufficient Mini Farming, you'll learn everything you need to get started on your journey towards full self sufficiency. You'll discover:

• How to turn even the smallest space into a bountiful farm
• A bulletproof approach to designing your garden for maximum yield
• The 8 key principles of biointensive farming - and why it will change your life
• Everything you need to know for vegetable-growing success
• Top secrets for growing fruit in every size of garden
• Why your new gardening buddy should be a chicken
• A realistic way to rear your own animals for meat with zero experience
• A 12-month plan for your garden
• Organic pest control secrets
• Tricks to make your garden do most of the work for you

And much more.

Many of us wish we knew more about where our food came from, so why aren't more of us growing our own?

Home food production doesn't have to be complicated. It isn't expensive, and it doesn't require acres of land. With just a little understanding of what you need to get started, you can begin a healthier, more sustainable, and more fulfilling life.

Over 75% of packaged food in the USA contains genetically modified organisms. Imagine being confident that you would never have to feed them to your children again.
