Inspiring! 25 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover
An inspiring book, I'm a big fan of Jimmy and found this book very interesting. It's a practical guide to becoming self sufficient. Jimmy shares all his wisdom and shows you how achievable becoming self sufficient actually is. Its full of practical tips and advice, and answers every question possible on what you can grow and what you can rear (these are the main areas that the book focuses on). It's really inspired me, I won't be turning the back garden in to a farm just yet but I am definitely looking into getting started.

Great read!

Brilliant Book 16 Mar 2011
By V Ward
Format:Hardcover
I love this book. I have been glued to the TV series so wanted to buy the book to see if it can give me a better idea of how to live off the land and it has!
The book looks great and is really easy to read. This book has really got me excited about what I can do in my garden this year.

What a great book! Not only is it informative and fascinating but it also looks great!

I am a big fan of Jimmy and the TV show and I really wanted to find out more about living off the land. This book has definitely helped, it has some great advice about living sustainably; even if it is only in the garden to begin with!

A great looking book
Yup, a great looking book but unless you have the money to buy your own farm then it's use is limited to a good-heavy-book-used-as-a-book-end. Read more

superficial
The book covers a lot of topics in very little depth. Too many pointless pictures of Jimmy, animals and veg, that have no relevance to the neighboring text. Read more
