40 Projects for Building Your Backyard Homestead book review

     Fall is here and soon it will be too nasty and dark outside to do many home improvement projects. However, now is an excellent time to start planning for next year! So with that in mind I have decided to do a book review. I hope to do these every two weeks or so on a new book that somehow relates to home improvement, gardening or decorating. This week it is the book 40 Projects for Building Your Backyard Homestead.

      I like this book. It has great ideas, good instructions and is an great price ($12.16 on Amazon). It has simple garden projects such as building a raised bed or inclined planter to basic fence construction, chicken coops, hydroponics and even installing solar panels. Pretty much the basics on everything you might need for your own backyard homestead!
     This book is a companion to the Backyard Homesteading: A Back-to-Basics Guide to Self-Sufficiency which is a good overview and introduction to the ideas and goals of homesteading. But to really get your creative juices flowing this book with over 40 projects is really the one. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs a general manual for garden/homesteading related construction. At about $12 it is really better to have this book hanging around than to have to follow some instructions you find on Youtube.com. You can check out Amazon's preview of the book here.
      Have you read this book or own it? Let me, and everyone else, know what you think of it with a comment.
