 Fantastic ideas for the budding smallholder August 3, 2008

Buy this book if you want to save yourself time and money.
We bought this book as we've just started in the miniature farming game. The diagrams are absolutely ideal for people like us with little background in DIY and self-subsistence. The practical tips on buying wood and tools have already saved us a small fortune, and with designs having plan dimensions included, it has been extremely easy to build our chicken coops. And they look like we bought them in a shop!
My wife has tried growing tomatoes in the past with little success. They've always been juicy, but really small. We've now been able to build a small poly tunnel similar to the one in the book, and the toms are starting to look much better as a result.
I could go on. Managing our smallholding was getting us down, but it's been so much easier now that someone's shown us how to get started. Get the book. Save yourself a whole lot of heartache. Highly recommended!!

I was very disappointed with this book. very expensive for a small paperback. The projects are very rough and simple, and i dont think they where good enough to justice being in a book. Far too novice, rough and simple for most people even with no experience.
Great diagrams! May 26, 2008

This book is excellent and contains some really interesting projects. It's well written and witty and non-DIYers have read & enjoyed my copy too. The diagrams are fantastic - complete with farm animals! The scope of projects is wide ranging and thought provoking, from the simple to the Heath-Robinson! This book has very strong green credentials - topics such as recycling, water conservation and renewable energy are covered in a practical, common sense way, with none of the smug green eco tone that sometimes spoils books like these. Definitley recommended even if you just want some inspiration and somebody else will be doing the building.
