Swap your trolley for a trug and learn how to grow your own food and make your own household essentials for modern day self-sufficiency. Written by No Dig guru Stephanie Hafferty, and photographed by Jason Ingram.

Self-sufficiency needn't be something you dream of as you shuffle down the aisles of a soulless supermarket. It's far easier than you think to grow your own, save money, reduce your consumption, increase your resilience and care for the planet – all from your own back yard. Stephanie Hafferty does it every day. From her No Dig garden she grows the food she needs to eat and the plants she needs to help her produce everyday essentials from cleaning products to hand cream. With more than 30 years of experience, she knows how to make a harvest stretch further, get the most out of the non-renewables, and how to feed the earth so that it can give back, year after year.
In this book, Stephanie introduces you to everything you need to grow abundant and useful crops, and teaches you what to do with them. This beautiful book covers:
Part One: In the Garden

Part Two: Seasonal Produce

Part Three: In the House

As a leading No Dig expert and teacher, Stephanie can show you sustainable methods of cultivating a generous and abundant garden that brings together affordable homesteading with the reality of modern life. Whether you want to start small, have already embarked on a journey to self-sufficiency or are looking for a complete lifestyle change, this will become your go-to book and essential guide.
