Praise for The Self-Sufficiency Garden

It's an easy-to-read guide to how a plot the size of a small family garden can provide you with affordable and nourishing fruit and veg, every day of the year.

A really great book if you're thinking about growing an edible garden. Broken down very simply, with some lovely recipes too – good job @huwsgarden @chef.sam.black
