In this comprehensive, readable, and now scarce guide John Seymour the king of self sufficiency describes how even a modest piece of land can grow enough fruit, vegetables and herbs to feed a family throughout the year. With tips on how to keep poultry, rabbits, geese and ducks, killing and butchering your stock and how to plough with a horse. Invaluable to the 'grow your own' smallholder. The tv series 'The Good Life' with Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal was based on this book. John Seymour (1914-2004), was a prolific early author in the self sufficiency movement. He had multiple roles as a writer, broadcaster, environmentalist, agrarian, smallholder and activist. A rebel against: consumerism, industrialisation, genetically modified organisms, cities, motor cars; an advocate for self reliance, personal responsibility, self sufficiency, conviviality (food, drink, dancing and singing), gardening, caring for the Earth and for the soil. Quite scarce, even in this later impression.
