Practical Hints for the Holding - With 240 Illustrations - A Collection of Prize Paragraphs from "The Smallholder" - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A smallholding is a small farm which normally supports a single family through the growing of cash crops and subsistence crops. This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to planning, establishing, and maintaining a smallholding for pleasure or profit. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, "Practical Hints for the Holding" constitutes a must-have guide to farmers new and old, and would make for a useful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Practical Hints for the Holding", "Taking a Holding", "Hints for the Holding", "Michaelmas Entry", "The Smallholder's water Supply", "How to Start a Mixed Holding", "Live-stock on Small Holdings", "A Six-Acre Holding", "How to Lay Out a Garden", "A Profitable Plantation", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on kitchen gardening.
