"I'm determined to grow something without killing it! This book is a great step in that direction if, like me, you weren't blessed with a green thumb or live in an apartment. The author gives clear information on edibles that can be grown in various climates and light conditions as well as basics. He even talks about sprouting and fermenting."
"I enjoyed this book for the ideas it gave me. He makes sprouting, fermenting, and cultivating mushrooms seem like normal things everyone should try and points you in the direction you need to find more information. And now I want to try sprouting and fermenting!"
"I do like this book. I think it is inspirational, has a lot of good ideas, and provides that "spark" that we need sometimes to think about producing more food in the space available to us whether it is shady and has poor light, or our space is all concrete, or if the space we have is only a balcony or a shelf of a closet. Growing sprouts, mushrooms, chickens, bees, berries, nuts, and fruit are all covered here, albeit very quickly with shallow information. A lot of people really underestimate how much they can do with the space available to them, and this kind of reality check could start someone down a path they may have never considered on their own.
However, if the bottom falls out and we need to provide for ourselves, I wouldn't depend on this book to pull my family through. There are a lot of general instructions, but for the most part, the information is too shallow to get you through a project. You want a beehive? Here are several good books to find. Want to raise chickens? Here are my two favorite books about chickens. In all fairness, the info about worm composting, the self-irrigating planter, and the lists of plants that produce well in low-light environments was solid info, but those little bits couldn't carry the entire book."
"I was looking into some simple solutions for an outdoor garden at our little apartment. This had a few ideas, I'd like to get back to it, but it wasn't as focused as I would have liked."
