    I have to say that Iabsolutely loved this book! The Self-Sufficient Backyard is a complete guide to starting your own backyard mini farm. No matter where you live, what size your yard is, or how much gardening experience you have, this book will guide you through the steps of creating your own sustainable garden. It was extremely informative and well-written, and I learned a lot from reading it.- Alan M.
