You Are About To Discover How Exactly You Can Start Your Very Own Mini Farm That Gives You A Steady Supply Of Fresh Organic Fruits And Vegetables All Year Round! There's no doubt that having a successful farm in your home has many benefits which extend beyond physical and mental health, encompassing financial and emotional health as well. But for many people, it's not the easiest thing to conceive and start. If you've never conducted farming before, or never set up a prime or highly productive farm in your life, it might seem scary and weighty, and to some extent, a painful process you'd rather avoid- although it's one of the easiest things to achieve on the planet. When you think of starting a farm, do questions like these flood your mind? Is this space enough? How much yield can I get from it? What should I plant, and how do I do it without making mistakes? How do I keep the farm productive; how do I maintain optimum soil fertility? What tools and implements do I need to get started? If they do, you might as well consider your job half done, as the other half simply entails familiarizing yourself with the steps you need to take and implementing them. And I just happen to have the perfect guide to help you out! Mini-farming for Beginners carries all the details you require to get the other half part of your job done in simple, organized and implementable format. It gives you vivid description of the practice of mini-farming, including: The basics of mini farming, including what it is, how it works and why you should have a mini farm How to maximize your space with simple tricks How to choose the right plants for mini-farming How the practice works for you How to set up the mini-farm The tools and equipment you require to set up your mini-farm How to maintain your mini-farm How to raise the beds, handle soil composition as well as maintenance Details about plant nutrients, timing and yield How to conduct your irrigation, crop proportion and sizing How to choose the right seeds, and save seeds in mini-farming …And much more! Establishing your own farm is probably one of the best decisions you'd ever make today when we're always grappling with a shortage of healthy, nutritious organic food. With a good mini-farm, not only would you be assuring yourself and your family a good food supply throughout the year and good health, but you'd be giving yourself an invaluable sense of confidence, pride and self-satisfaction each time you look at the rich carpet of vegetables and fruits in your backyard. Even if you've never done this before, this book will be with you every step of the way to unleash the successful backyard gardener in you!

In No-Waste Composting, you’ll discover the hows and whys of composting and find over a dozen practical step-by-step plans for building both indoor and outdoor composting systems that require a minimal amount of space. “I don’t have enough space to compost.” “I don’t know what’s safe to compost and what isn’t.” “I live in the city, so I don’t think I can compost.” “Indoor composting systems are smelly.” “I don’t have a garden, so I don’t need to compost.” If any of these is your excuse for not composting, then this is the book for you! Small-space composting has never been easier, more efficient, and more eco-friendly. Composting keeps millions of tons of waste out of landfills and creates carbon-sequestering, nutrient-dense compost that can be used to help fuel plant growth (including houseplants!) and build soil health. Build a DIY worm-composting system for a cupboard or garage Craft a layered, under-the-sink composting system from terra cotta pots Construct a simple outdoor compost bin from repurposed wooden pallets Use upcycled wire fencing to build a mobile composting system on the driveway Learn how to compost larger sticks and branches to build new food and flower gardens Upcycle a plastic bucket to make an indoor compost fermenting system Plus, you’ll find plans to keep cat and dog waste out of the landfill by using a groundbreaking (and safe) DIY composting system. And if you don’t garden, author and composting professional Michelle Balz offers plenty of other ways you can utilize the wonderful, crumbly compost you create. Whether you’re just starting your no-waste journey or you’re a seasoned recycling and repurposing pro, No-Waste Composting is an invaluable tool to have at your side.
