Once upon a time in America every brave man and woman settling the wild frontier was given the deed to a 160-acre piece of land.
The only string attached to this gift was they had to live there and develop that land into a homestead.
Not having property might be why you’ve not yet started your own off-grid homestead. But nowadays, you can still get free land upon which to build.
That’s why in this unique book I will show you exactly where you can find your own free land in 21st century America. These plots are between 1 to 5 acres but with the Self-Sufficient Backyard that’s more than enough.

You will find an entire chapter called “easy on the back gardening”.
Each one of our gardening projects you’ll find inside The Self-Sufficient Backyard is especially conceived for people with back problems.
There’s not much bending in these gardens.
You will also find out how to power up a backyard perpetual compost garden using only the daily kitchen scraps you throw away.
When you water the plants or when it rains, both the water and the compost nutrients you place in the tower will flow outwards creating living soil thus feeding the plants. That’s exactly the kind of soil you need for record breaking harvests.
You will also discover the 7 plants you really need to have in a medicinal garden and not only how to care for them, but how to turn them into tinctures and other remedies. For the last 40 years we’ve been using these herbs, so how would you feel instead of paying for natural remedies or supplements to just pick them up from your backyard?
I’m not talking about folk remedies here, I’m talking about real plants that we found out over the last 4 decades that are very effective, and not something that you read on the internet.

In it you’ll discover how to set up an aquaponic system that you can fit in your backyard, in your basement or in your Greenhouse.
The awesome thing about an aquaponic garden is that every part of the system produces food for another.
The water you use for plants absorbs nutrients from the soil and feeds the fish. The fish droppings then feed good bacteria, which turn ammonia into nitrates that the plants need to grow.
The growth rates are astonishing. And you can always have both juicy vegetables and fresh fish a plenty.
In all that time an electric wire has never been connected to our house. We haven’t gotten or paid an electricity bill in over 40 years, but we have all the electricity we want. We grow everything we need, here, in our small backyard. We also have a small medicinal garden which has helped us get through some tough times. Just like our grandparents, we preserve everything we produce so we have all we need year-round.
