Hello!

Thankyou for taking the time to look at my book.

Are you tired of hearing about the awful effects of chemical-based fertilizer on your local environment?

If so, would you like to find another way?

Well, your search is over!

The best way to avoid the hassles of chemical fertilizers is to make your own organic fertilizer at home - all you need is a worm bin.

Worm composting (or vermicomposting/vermiculture) is the practice of using worms to break down kitchen scraps, and to turn those scraps into nutrient-rich garden compost. It is an ecologically sound way to eat healthier foods, throw away less waste and spend less money.

I have written this step by step guide on worm composting for all of those who are tired of gardening with harmful chemicals. In its pages, you will find out how many worms you need and what kind. You will also find out how to obtain and maintain your worm bin.

What bedding will your worms like? How do you make that bedding? What foods can your worms eat? What foods are hazardous to them? How do you keep pests out of your worm bin?

The answers to all of those questions and more will be revealed.

Most importantly, my book will tell you when and how to harvest your compost for use in the garden. You'll be amazed at all of the benefits that vermicomposting can offer, whether you're dealing with seeds, seedlings or full-sized garden plants.

This easy to read, beginners book, summarizes the essential information I have learned over the years, and is written to help you integrate worm composting in to your daily routine.

Best wishes,

Frank

If you've spent any time watching the TV news lately, chances are you've seen at least one piece about the environment--and how our lifestyle has torn it apart over the last 100 years.

It's hard to imagine describing modern life without using the words "green" and "environment." Most scientists consider our planet under threat, and as various media outlets continue to proclaim, it is up to us to do something about it.

However, many of us don't know what to do. We feel hopelessly lost when it comes to strategies and methods that will enable us to look after our planet. In fact, many of us feel that our existence actively harms our world on a daily basis.

Relax. You're not killing the planet. And the good news is that living sustainably, in a way that helps protect the environment, is not an unattainable dream. If you proceed slowly and carefully, you can make small changes here and there that will push you towards a life of true sustainability.

Since moving from the hustle and bustle of a metropolitan Northern England city to the peaceful shores of Lake Erie, I have had more space and time to experiment with various methods of sustainability and self-sufficiency. In this book, I will share the simplest, most effective and straightforward ways you can make a lasting difference for your home, family and environment.

Trailersteading: Voluntary Simplicity In A Mobile Home (Modern Simplicity) [Kindle Edition] Anna Hess (Author)


http://www.amazon.com/Trailersteadin...154606011_f_98

All the advantages of a tiny house at a fraction of the cost!

Imagine what you could do with your time if you didn't have to spend $16,000 a year on rent or a mortgage. Old single-wide mobile homes can often be found for free (and installed for a couple of thousand dollars) in rural areas, so trailersteading is akin to dumpster-diving. A trailer allows you to live without debt, to keep your ecological footprint to a minimum with energy bills at or below the national average, and even to blend right in with traditional-house dwellers after a few years.

Trailersteading profiles nine mobile-home dwellers who have used trailers as a stepping stone toward achieving their dreams. Some have spent the cash they saved by renovating their trailer on extra insulation, pitched roofs, classy interiors, and even basements, while the found money has allowed others to go off the grid. Many also took advantage of a low-cost housing option to pursue their passions, becoming full-time homemakers or homesteaders.

In addition to the case studies, the book presents easy methods of minimizing the negative sides of trailer life and accentuating the positive. For example, did you know a single-wide is easy to retrofit for passive solar heating? That a simple plant-covered trellis can break up the blockiness of the trailer's external appearance? Learn which parts of installing and upgrading your trailer are easy for a DIYer and which parts should be left to the experts, along with how to cheaply heat and cool a mobile home.

http://www.amazon.com/Preppers-Garde...154606011_f_52

This is controlled by Monsanto and the likes but is mandated by the White House as a matter of national security. As a result of this action, more then 200,000 farmers, in just India, have committed suicide. This is the ultimate offense against humanity, short of out right genocide, and unconscionable.

How to Easily Grow Organic Superfoods at Home Without a Garden (Backyard-Ideas.org Guides) [Kindle Edition]
Nate Lemmon (Author)

http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Superf...154606011_f_37

What This Special Book Is and Why You Should Read It

Hi, this is Nate Lemmon.

What you’ll find in this short book is the exact information you need to know to start growing healthy, delicious, and organic superfoods at home, even without a garden.

The fact is, most gardening books make the process way too complicated, and they include way too much information on all kinds of plants that you either don’t care about or are too hard to take care of.

Notice #1: This Isn’t the Most comprehensive Gardening Book that Exists... Not Even Close

What I’ve done in this book is chosen the most healthy superfoods that are the easiest to grow, even if you can’t take care of a goldfish.

I made this book short for a reason: I want to take away every excuse you have for not growing your own organic superfoods.

Notice #2: If You Haven’t Added Superfoods to Your Daily Diet Yet, You Need to Start ASAP!
(this book will get you started)

People are getting so unhealthy and our regular diet is so atrocious that we should all at least be eating some nutrient-packed superfoods each day.

When you can step out onto your deck or walk to your windowsill and pick some organic vegetables or greens, it becomes easy to start eating healthier... not only because it’s so convenient, but also because home-grown food is a completely different experience than produce you buy at the store.

Here are a few of the things you’ll learn in this book:

Why organic gardening is actually much easier in small spaces using containers

The pros and cons of starting from seed versus seedlings

The best source for true organic seeds

The most effective methods for germinating your seeds

A simple trick to make your seedlings resilient and strong

How to make your own planters at home, and what requirements they need to have

Several container repurposing ideas so you don’t have to buy new containers

The difference between regular houseplant soil and soil for organic container gardening

The best place to find the cheapest and most effective compost

The different types of organic fertilizers and what each type is best for

Sunlight requirements

The best type of day to plant on, and what to do if the weather isn’t ideal

The best material to use to aid in soil drainage

The exact container size, spacing, planting depth, and other growing requirements for each specific superfood

A simple trick to keep the majority of pest away without using chemicals or pesticides

The type of flower to put next to your greens that will prevent larvae from eating your greens

The plant that is catnip for caterpillars, which will keep them busy instead of them eating your vegetables

A simple trick to know exactly when your veggies are ready to harvest

The telltale signs of different greens when they’re ripe, and what to watch out for
