Food self-sufficiency : basic permaculture techniques for vegetable gardening, keeping chickens, raising bees, and more / Robert Elger ; English translation by Grace McQuillan.
"What if you could really raise or grow all the food your family needs? In this fully illustrated book, you'll learn to create an autonomous, diversified, and sustainable garden and to cultivate and maintain it following the main principles of permaculture. If you want to move towards greater food autonomy and you have sufficient space, you can also grow grains, keep chickens, and have a few beehives."-- Provided by Amazon.com.
