Yes, I too highly recommend Suzanne Ashworth’s Seed to Seed. It is invaluable for anyone wanting to learn to save seed. Have to watch this movie on Farmer John…LOL! Cheers!

[...] that I had already read about in more general books like the Solar Living Sourcebook and many other books on off-grid and sustainable living. I ordered this book because I was ready to jump into slipform stone building, not composting [...]

[...] The main reason I would not recommend Five Acres and Independence to the person interested in learning about small farm management and living an off-grid or self-sustaining life is because most, if not all, of the information I found within the book (between bouts of dozing off) can be found in much more modern – and enjoyable – books like: – Successful Small-Scale Farming: An Organic Approach – Mini Farming for Self Sufficiency – Storey’s Basic Country Skills: A Practical Guide to Self-Reliance – The Solar Living Sourcebook – The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It – And many others… [...]

We are trying to get exposure for a new type of system for water well drilling. It is a completely new and different system than anything anyone has ever seen before, and it makes it possible for people to drill a well to 100′ for as little as $500; we believe it will revolutionize the industry, but it is relatively unknown at the moment, although we’ve already shipped plans and kits around the world to India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Italy, etc. We are very, very competitively priced for a home well drilling system because our method relies on finesse rather than brute force and the concept is very simple and easy to use.

This system makes it possible for anyone to provide a free local water source for themselves at a price which is affordable for just about anyone. All that is necessary is an air compressor, a modified air-powered drill, and some PVC pipe. Would you be interested in writing up a review to post to your website? You can see my website at http://www.HowToDrillAWell.com for more information about the system, as well as a short video which will show you how the system works. Please let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you a set of plans and DVD for review right away.

Thanks,
Nathaniel Burson
