    About this ebook

    Save yourself from more than half of the trouble most beginning and advanced homesteaders have to deal with.

    Homestead gardening has exploded over the last few years. One in three US households now gardens to provide food for their families.

    There are a variety of reasons why people are getting into gardening in such numbers. At the top of the list is that you can ensure the quality and nutrition of their fruits and vegetables.You also maintain control over where and how they're produced so they know they're safe.

    Additionally, homestead gardening can save you a lot of money. Did you know that for the required purchases to garden, the average grower experiences a return of investment of over 700 %?

    Homesteaders also report a psychological satisfaction that comes from working the land to provide for their own food.

    If you have a garden or are considering one, now is the perfect time to start or take it to the next level. Optimizing your efforts provides superb results that no grocery store could ever compete with.

    It's also the start of a self-reliant lifestyle because once you get proficient in gardening for food, it has real economic benefits both meeting actual needs and saving money.

    Are you wondering if this kind of gardening will work in your backyard?
    The answer is 100% yes, it will work because there are plants and gardening techniques that work for all sorts of living situations.

    All you need is a basic understanding of particular plants and their needs to make sure you can live a self-sufficient life as a homesteader.

    In "The Backyard Homestead Manual," you ́ll discover:

    • A gardener's framework for effective planning to ensure your harvest is sufficient
    • Different garden bed options to accommodate your available space
    • Straight-forward ways to improve the quality of your soil

    • 6 easy ways to ensure you eat well throughout the winter
    • 3 things you can't overlook if you want your plants to reliably grow
    • New strategies for getting rid of weeds that minimize your required time and effort

    And much more.

    No matter if you are new to homesteading or you are an established farmer, "The Backyard Homestead Manual" meets you wherever you are in your gardening process and helps you to overcome the challenges you are facing right now.

    Some people are resistant to starting gardening or increasing its scope because of the time commitment. While there are things you need to do on a regular basis, the reality is that when you get a solid system in place, most of the chores can be done quickly and effectively so you can get on with other parts of your day.
