Publisher's Synopsis
Build your way to a more self-sufficient lifestyle with step-by-step projects for backup and supplementary utilities—including independent water, heat, and electricity—growing and storing food, raising small livestock, beekeeping, and more. Many of the projects require basic materials available at your everday home center, but this book also provides valuable DIY resources for solar, hydro, greenhouse, and gardening needs. This book will help you build security with utility backup systems and become more sustainable, resulting in less dependence on city systems for basic needs. Whether you have a city plot or simply pots, this book includes all of the information needed to plan, build, and succeed with greater selfsufficiency.
