The 4 foot farm blueprint

the long version

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on moving toward a more sustainable and self-reliant lifestyle by learning how to grow your own food. Growing my own food has been the most satisfying thing I have done to improve my own independence, and I hope that soon you will be experiencing some of the same gains yourself. This book will provide you with a lot of information in a small amount of space and time, but don't get overwhelmed. As you start to build your own garden you can come back to this book and review different ideas to try and find some inspiration for moving forward. This probably won't be your only gardening resource, and it shouldn't be. The more sources you can use to derive information, the better off you will be. - Introduction.
