"The leading idea in
my mind was this - that a man of ordinary industry
and intelligence, by choosing a proper location
within hourly reach of a great city market, could
so cultivate a few acres as to insure a maintenance
for his family"
- Edmund Morris

"I
was nearly always short of ready cash"
Edmund Morris has
inspired many people over the years to become more self-sufficent,
regardless of the size of their land (or backyard). Coming
close to bankruptcy on more than one ocassion Edmund found
his city business had stopped being profitable "Previous
to this crisis, necessity had driven me to the banks...As
is always the case with these institutions, they compelled
me to return the borrowed money at the very time it was least
convenient for me to do so - they needed it as urgently
as myself."
Sounds
familiar doesn't it?
Edmund had struggled
with bills and city life for many years, borrowing to pay
off other debts, and fighting to stay afloat. City business
was in trouble, the banks were in trouble - in fact, the financial
backdrop he lived through is
very similar to the situation we are finding ourselves in
today, except that this was over a hundred years ago.
Having realised the rent he was paying did nothing but increase
his landlords wealth, he decided he wanted to buy some land
for a small farm; to build his own house on, raise enough
fruit and veg and livestock to feed his own family, and have
the excess to sell at nearby markets - he wanted security
and independence for himself and his family.

In
this book Edmund details the first 3 years of his 'back
to the land' experience; how he selected the land, what
he chose to grow, the animals he raised, planning and
managing his fully stocked kitchen garden and the layout
of his fields. He also passes along many tips for planting
and growing his selection of fruits and veg aswell as
sharing his experiences with cows, pigs and chickens.
He explains honestly what worked for him and what did
not. |
