Any Book Recs?

Wondering if anyone has any book recommendations about "greening" your lifestyle? Thanks!

Re: Any Book Recs?

  • I really liked The Urban HomesteadIt has great step-by-step (often with pictures) instructions on all of the following.

    Learn how to:

    • Grow food on a patio or balcony
    • Preserve or ferment food and make yogurt and cheese
    • Compost with worms
    • Keep city chickens
    • Divert your grey water to your garden
    • Clean your house without toxins
    • Guerilla garden in public spaces
    • Create the modern homestead of your dreams

    Cool! I know this is allowed in our area and I'd love to read more about it! It would certainly produce more eggs than my husband and I could eat, but maybe I could get a little egg-supply chain going!

    • Divert your grey water to your garden

    I was thinking about this in the shower this morning!!!

    • Clean your house without toxins
    • Guerilla garden in public spaces

    LOL! Now that's just funny :)

  • I've been reading Green Housekeeping and it has a ton of great tips. 

    My husband saw me reading it and said "uh oh, what are we going to have to change now?" Big Smile
