The Weekend Homesteader: A Twelve-Month Guide to Self-Sufficiency by Anna Hess
3.0
3.5 stars.
After reading a dozen suburban homesteading books, it was refreshing to find something a bit different. This book's chapters are organized according to the months of the year and offer homesteading projects specific to certain times of the year. Four projects for each month- in essence creating a weekly homesteading project. These projects included some I had never heard of before ("planting" and harvesting mushroom logs, for example.) However, each activity is something homesteaders everywhere could do- whether they lived in an apartment or on a couple of acres. Nice pictures and good instructions made this book a winner.
