Who wants to live the Good Life?

Far from being an urban or a rural idyll, self-sufficiency is grindingly hard work. And yet there are so many aspects of the 'self-sufficient' lifestyle that seem appealing today.

. Ever wondered how much effort it really takes to grow food and how much you could grow?

. Is beekeeping difficult?

. Can you keep chickens in your garden and would you ever be able to go on holiday again?

. Is solar power worth the bother?

From a small terraced house in the middle of a big city, Paul Waddington has tried or researched every aspect of being a 'twenty-first-century smallholder'. Here he provides practical, straightforward answers to these and many other questions, showing how you can enjoy the fulfilling aspects of the smallholding life without the hassle and expense of going 'all the way'.

If you want to go back to the land without leaving home, this is the perfect guide.
