Show me a ¼-acre backyard, and I'll show you a ton of vegetables. Literally.
As in 2,000 pounds!
And that's just the beginning! It has never been so EASY to get the most from your garden.
Even if you live in an apartment, you can start growing at least some of the food you eat and reap extraordinary benefits with every harvest — save money ... boost health ... savor irresistibly fresh flavors ... conserve energy ... and have loads of fun!
Grow the vegetables and fruits your family loves; keep bees, raise chickens, goats, or even a cow! The Backyard Homestead shows you how it's done. And when the harvest is in, you'll learn how to cook, preserve, cure, brew, or pickle the fruits of your labor.
Rotate Right and Rejoice! Crop rotation is a great way to get more variety and bounty out of even the smallest gardens, while keeping in more soil nutrients. But successful rotation means planting the right crops in the right order — and making sure you don't follow certain plants with their "arch enemies." For a fail-proof rotation planting plan.
In today's economic climate, it only makes sense to grow some of your own food. And, now The Backyard Homestead shows you the easiest, most convenient, productive ways to grow a little, a lot, or even ALL the food you and your family eat each day!
Add a few chickens to that same ¼ acre, and in one year you'll have 1,400 eggs. A couple of beehives? 100 pounds of honey!
And I'm still just getting started!
