I found this book very interesting and an easy read. The information was useful and informative. The added bonus of witty authors was great. I really enjoyed the casual and fun but dedicated attitudes.
I liked that it wasn't injected with end of the world doom and gloom or praising Gaia and Mother Earth. Just straight forward if you want to have a sustainable homestead in the middle of an urban setting here is how.
A very good book to get your fingers itching to get in some dirt. It really makes it seem so easy and practical to grow your own veg and have chickens in the back yard. It just makes me ask why aren't we all doing this?

This is truly an awesome book. With practical tips on how to compost, start a grey water system, gardening, pickling, it shows everyone that they can make a difference even if they have very limited space. If these folks can have a large organic garden, a chicken coop and bake their own bread from scratch while living in downtown LA, absolutely anyone can do it. An excellent section on cleaning your home without chemicals. Absolutely invaluable. Love it.
