Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you are looking for real information on homesteading, this is NOT the book. At best the information is very general and almost worthless. The author has information on buying food from CSAs, Co-ops,and farmers markets. How about more info on growing your own food. There's nothing on raising beef or pork. In the section on dairy goats, she speaks about the breed La Mancha, yet the photo is NOT a LaMancha. The goat in the photo has ears, La Manchas don't have ears. Also although goats will eat some grass, they are poor grazers. In the section of llamas there is a least one photo of alpacas. In the sheep section, the author tells the reader to milk a sheep you must pull the sheep up to the fence so it can't get away, then she has you milking the animal from the front. What? I have all these animals, plus more.That's not even close to how milking is done. I don't need a homesteading book to tell me how to hang wallpaper, or how to use Feng Shui to decorate my home. The photos used for growing in a greenhouse are greenhouses that none of us can afford to buy. The same with the chapter on energy and the photos for solar panels and wind turbines. Where's the info on building with recycled material? This is a book for yuppies with lots of money who want to play "homestead." This author does not know what she is writing about. There are many more worthwhile books out there.
