How
to Store Your Garden Produce – the key to self-sufficiency
is the modern guide to storing and preserving your garden produce,
enabling you to eat home-grown goodness all year round. The easy
to use reference section provides applicable storage and preservation
techniques for the majority of plant produce grown commonly in gardens
and allotments.
Why
is storing your garden produce the key to self-sufficiency? Because
with less than an acre of garden you can grow enough produce to
feed a family of four for a year, but as much of the produce will
ripen simultaneously in the summer, without proper storage most
of it will go to waste and you'll be off to the supermarket again.
Learn simple and enjoyable techniques for storing your produce and
embrace the wonderful world of self-sufficiency.
In
the A-Z list of produce, each entry includes recommended varieties,
suggested methods of storage and a number of recipes. Everything
from how to make your own cider and pickled gherkins to how to string
onions and dry your own apple rings.
You will know where your food has come from, you will save money,
there will be no packaging and you?ll be eating tasty local food
whilst feeling very good about it.
