Hi DD, Hope you are feeling better.

John Seymour's book covers just about everything, Growing and what to do with the things you have grown, making things and every thing you need to try and be self suffient. My only criticism of it is that because of the wide range of topics there isn't room to go into any great detail. Even so its a great book and I only have the original copy but I often find info. about things in it that are not in any of the other books I have.

I found out how to make hurdles in it Just had to do something with all the willow I have
