I used a lot of color pictures and illustrations, even though my publishers said this was going to be expensive- I knew it would be better for my readers to actually see how this is done, and with a picture being worth a thousand words, I guess I have saved you from reading over 100,000 additional words, by supplying you with these pictures.Īside from having been a farmer, I have also been a “survivalist” and a “prepper” - long before they coined the terms. I tried to make it short and sweet, so people can get down to the meat of the subject. I tried to make the book easy to follow, and easy to read. Many people have asked me to write a book on the subject, so here it is. I have been asked to speak at numerous conferences to talk about my success, and I have been teaching people how to do this on their own homesteads. All without using fertilizer, and without using pesticide. These techniques work- amazingly well- because you simply let nature do what it wants to do, instead of trying to force nature to do what man wants it to do. The Secret Garden of Survival is based on years of research, experimentation and first had experince on using permaculture concepts in a homestead orchard, vineyard and berryfarm. That is because the predator bugs that would have taken care of the pests, were dying from the pesticide faster than the pests! And little did I know then that the pesticide I was using was actually making my apples a bigger target for the pests I was trying to get rid of. Little did I know then, that the grass in between the trees sucked up the same nutrients that the apple trees needed. Yet I still had wormy, scabby apples, just like every other farmer around me. And just like every other traditional apple farmer, I had acres of apple trees planted in rows and rows, with nothing but grass growing in between.Īnd just like every other traditional apple farmer, I spent a fortune on fertilizer and pesticide - every 10 days and also after every rain. And the less you are reliant on the industrial food chain, the wealthier and more secure you will be. Not just the electrical grid, but off the industrial food grid. (And the information contained in this book, can replace the need for you to buy about 10 other livestock books.) If you are serious about raising livestock, whether you are an existing homesteader, or just getting started, this book will save you many hundreds of times what it costs you to buy right now. Now you can learn what I have learned, without having to learn it the hard way. Because if this book had been available then, I could have done it right the first time, and saved myself a lot of time, heartache and money! I wrote this book, as the book that I wish I could have read, before I made my venture into raising livestock. And these livestock animals are discrete, so most people won’t even know you are raising them. Just like in my previous two books in this series, the Secret Livestock of Survival- How to Raise the Very Best Choices for Retreat and Homestead Livestock, will show you how to grow your own sources of food (in this case- protein), with a much better return on your investment of time, money, feed, housing and real estate, than with traditional homestead thinking. But truth be told, when it comes to raising livestock, there are a lot of reasons to avoid raising chickens altogether, and almost every reason not to own a cow. When most people think of raising homestead livestock, they invariably think that they must have chickens and a cow. ![]()
