Smallholders manual by Katie Thear 
THE SMALLHOLDER'S MANUAL Katie Thear. The Crowood Press. 2002. ISBN: 186126 5557 Large format Hardback. 240 Pages. Price: £25 (£27 UK delivery) |
Described as the smallholder's bible! A practical handbook for the small farmer in the 21st century, this is the essential reference book for anyone working on a smallholding, whether the intention is just to reduce living costs by producing food at home, or to earn a supplementary income through the sale of produce. Illustrated in colour throughout. |
|
Katie starts by describing the practical requirements in terms of house, land, boundaries, buildings, tools and machinery, before moving on to the techniques of small-scale agriculture: tending the kitchen garden, orchard and pasture, growing fodder crops, and cultivation with the aid of greenhouses and poly-tunnels. The coverage of livestock includes: bees, chickens, waterfowl, turkeys, guinea fowl, quail, peacocks, pheasants, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle and exotic species such as emus and alpacas. Highly recommended! | |
