I'm currently reading the following two books and really enjoy them both and they are both providing useful information in leading a simple life and self sustainability
A bit about me - I live on the northern edge of the suburbs of Melbourne on a suburban block that's 448sqm which is mostly house. I've had a vegie patch in the backyard for the last 3 years or so which is north and west facing and I am now going to start planting vegies in my front yard so that I can plant a lot more! The challenge with the front yard though will be winter frosts as it faces south.
I currently have egg laying and meat chickens and quails also in the backyard. I try to grow and raise all my own chicken via the meat chickens bought as day old chicks and I also incubate my quail eggs and harvest the birds for their meat. I also have two cats, but due to the chooks they are indoors only and don't produce anything edible, but do provide good company.
I haven't been able to do a lot in the garden for the last 5 weeks due to having Carpal Tunnel Surgery on my left hand. Thankfully I am right handed though, but I am still very limited in what I can do as recovery can take 4+months and up to a year in some cases.
I hope that you enjoy following my journey towards a simple life.
