What are the best books for a beginning organic gardener?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I have read The Urban Homestead and it has whetted my appetite to do more gardening but to do it better. I am interested in doing it without chemical fertilizers because we are a corner lot with two storm drains that go right in to the Mississippi.

If it helps, our lot is mostly partly shady with a small area in full sun and small area in mostly shade. Anything that is urban-specific or Midwest/Minnesota-specific would be awesome provided it’s basic enough for me to know what the heck they are talking about. Thanks!!!

What is the best type of low-cost home construction for someone to undertake when doing the labor alone?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I’m a female with two a teen son and pre-teen daughter, and considering building my own small home on a lot I own. It’s in the city limits in central North Carolina, and my great-grandparents homestead once stood there, and was razed a decade ago. So I am at least starting out with a level, cleared lot that has utilities in place to hook up to. I want to build something that will be energy efficient, and that will require very little maintenance. It will be tiny, under 1,000 sq. ft., and I will be paying in cash as I go. I will contract out the HVAC, plumbing and electrical work, but would like to tackle as much of the rest as possible on my own, with the kids assisting, of course. I am pretty strong and handy with tools, and I don’t have a time constraint. I just want to ensure I end up with a well built home without jeopardizing my family’s safety in the process.
