Gardening For The Faint Of Heart

Gardening for the Faint of Heart

This humorous yet practical gardening guide will help you get "down to earth". Packed with whimsical illustrations and overflowing with useful suggestions, Gardening for the Faint of Heart is ideal for the novice gardener. Learn about everything from planning a garden and getting started to pruning, managing pests, seeding and breeding, greenhouse and container gardening and more. A perfect rainy day read, this book never loses sight of the fact that above all, gardening should be fun.

What Will You Eat When the Big One Hits?

Where would you find your groceries if your supermarket's shelves were suddenly empty? The threat of earthquakes, trucker strikes, power outages or a global market collapse make us vulnerable like never before. With spiralling fuel prices and unstable world economies, individuals and communities are demanding more control over their food supply.

I've Learned SO MUCH!

As a 'newbie' homesteader, Robin's weekend workshops have been invaluable. I've learned so many practical skills - from how to build a fire to how to make biodynamic compost. I can't recommend Robin and her Sustainable Living Arts School enough.

Charming and Informative

Robin Wheeler has thoroughly covered the subject of food security in a funny, lighthearted way. Her writing style and humor are delightful and I got the feeling that I would like to meet her in person.

This is not just a book about storing emergency food, but a book of suggestions on how to take control of your food supply, eat healthier and have some peace of mind...and maybe even have a little fun doing it. She makes you want to try some of her suggestions.

She presents several interesting recipes, written in a happy-go-lucky way that makes you believe you can't fail. I intend to try her Potato-Leek soup...but I might just use scallions instead of Leeks! What the heck.

I recommend this book highly.
