Grow all your family's food with just hand labor, four basic hand tools, and with little or no electricity or irrigation

In hard times, the family can be greatly helped by growing a highly productive food garden, requiring little cash outlay or watering. This book shows that any family with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can halve their food costs using a growing system requiring just the odd bucketful of household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars' worth of hand tools.

Gardening When It Counts helps readers rediscover traditional low-input gardening methods to produce healthy food. Currently popular intensive vegetable gardening methods are largely inappropriate to the new circumstances we find ourselves in. Crowded raised beds require high inputs of water, fertility and organic matter, and demand large amounts of human time and effort. Prior to the 1970s, North American home food growing used more land with less labor, with wider plant spacing, with less or no irrigation, and all done with sharp hand tools. But these sustainable systems have been largely forgotten.

Designed for readers with no experience and applicable to most areas in the English-speaking world except the tropics and hot deserts, Gardening When It Counts is inspiring increasing numbers of North Americans to achieve some measure of backyard food self-sufficiency.

Works great.
Color: Gloss Black
We preferred this model because the button is on top of the unit, making it easier to use. And we do use it often. The battery lasts for a reasonable amount of time too, and charges quickly on USB.

Great Product - Stop Wasting Batteries!
Color: Gloss Black
Super happy with this purchase and so glad it's rechargeable. So much better than the fancy brand we had that went through batteries like crazy and had a wobbly shaft. Lots of power and can be easily used for travel as we do for blending protein powder and cream into coffee. It's already traveled to Europe twice, Tahiti, Australia and a Panama cruise and still working like the day we got it. We're very pleased with the quality and the price.

Frothing like a barista!
Color: Gloss Black
Works great! It took some practice to produce froth without the coffee splattering! But, once I got the hang of it, the results were amazing!

Best frother ever!
Color: Flat Black
Super easy to use! Love the 3 speed mode. Makes my morning coffee a breeze to make. Also love the fact that it’s rechargeable. So far only charged once and it’s long lasting. Favor part about it is the storage, doesn’t need to stand straight and be out. Can be easily cleaned and stored away with the cover. Feels very high quality. Highly recommend!
