The Woodland Homestead: How to Make Your Land More Productive and Live More Self-Sufficiently in the Woods

This book was a present

super informative with so many ideas for a woodland homestead, easy to read and navigate.

A good book with expert knowledge about a lot of topics , some topics have all you need to know, some you may need to do more research and the book gives you other resources , internet and list other books to help you look up more. For example one suggested resource was a free university study that was on line which was very helpful. I recently bought 6 acres of woodland far from civilization and this book gave me ideas and knowledge that were very valuable and that I didn't consider. An example is a cheep way to test soil with household products for high acid or ph and how to correct that without buying something. I would recommend this book to anyone who has woodland they might want to develop for food , resources or basic farming. It is not a prepper style book , but it would be helpful , more of a pioneer how to make a woodlot into a homestead.Well written with good information, just know that because it covers so many topics you may have to dig some for more info depending on what you already know. It has helped me and I do recommend it.

A very interesting book which covers so many aspects! Usually, these aspects are barely touched here and there, but this author complied it all and shares his personal experience as well. Highly recommended! A great find as far as I'm concerned!

This book was amazing, an inspiration, very practical information, instructions, best practices, great illustrations. I will be keeping this as a resource for managing our forest. The section on living fences really captured my imagination and will be implementing hedgerows and living fences, the pig-o-tiller and really excited to learn and practice.It opened me up to so many possibilities, like syrup production...who doesn't want to try beech or walnut syrup? Now our forest can be producers for the homestead and community.
