Author Chris Gleason is an experienced woodworker and homesteader who shows how to plan and design a backyard farm. He offers expert advice for making all the essential hard-working structures that are needed to sustain small-scale agriculture.
Step-by-step instructions are provided for 21 projects including green houses, beehives, rabbit hutches, raised beds, potting sheds, trellises, fences, and more. You'll learn how to create an irrigation system, harvest rainwater, and keep your farm environmentally sound. Each detailed plan is accompanied by the author's clear, instructive drawings.
More than just a manual, Building Projects for Backyard Farmers and Home Gardeners also offers entertaining and enlightening interviews with both experts and "average Joe" farmers. Learn what motivates them to become backyard farmers, the lessons that they have to share, and maybe even a couple of funny stories along the way!
