Grow all your family's food with just hand labor, four basic hand tools, and with little or no electricity or irrigation

In hard times, the family can be greatly helped by growing a highly productive food garden, requiring little cash outlay or watering. This book shows that any family with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can halve their food costs using a growing system requiring just the odd bucketful of household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars' worth of hand tools.

Gardening When It Counts helps readers rediscover traditional low-input gardening methods to produce healthy food. Currently popular intensive vegetable gardening methods are largely inappropriate to the new circumstances we find ourselves in. Crowded raised beds require high inputs of water, fertility and organic matter, and demand large amounts of human time and effort. Prior to the 1970s, North American home food growing used more land with less labor, with wider plant spacing, with less or no irrigation, and all done with sharp hand tools. But these sustainable systems have been largely forgotten.

Designed for readers with no experience and applicable to most areas in the English-speaking world except the tropics and hot deserts, Gardening When It Counts is inspiring increasing numbers of North Americans to achieve some measure of backyard food self-sufficiency.

Eyes burn but good for face
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is really light weight and gives me a glow without being to greasy and heavy. I love this sunscreen but it makes my eyes burn throughout the day

Lightweight and it works!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love how this sunblock goes on so smoothly. I use it daily and have not gotten burned in this extreme Florida weather. I also like that I don’t sweat using it, unlike some other sunscreens I’ve use.

Amazing stuff!!
Love love love this stuff! You do have to spread it out well to not go right through it but it doesn’t take more than a thin layer to protect you all day!!

amazing product, a little too pricey
it worked amazing while we were trying to swim in the ocean and snorkel in the ocean. The only downfall I have of this is the price is so much for such a little amount.
