Great introduction to the subject
This beautifully illustrated volume brings together a whole host of tips and ideas to help to change your lifestyle without becoming overwhelming. You can dip into it at leisure and easily find projects to try out as the book is helpfully divided into sections for people who have no garden, a very small garden area, or a large garden or access to an allotment.

Excellent book - I definitely recommend it!

What a fab book!
I only got this today and I've browsed through it cover to cover... it's very inspiring and really makes you think about the environment. It's full of little projects whether you have a big garden to no garden at all! My first projects are to get a wormery and a water butt, followed by creating a small veg garden.

It even shows you how to keep chickens, goats, pigs and cows!!

Work with nature
A Slice of Organic Life

Edited by Sheherazade Goldsmith

You don't have to live in the countryside, spend a lot of money, vote Green or be a vegetarian to be just a little bit more aware of our fragile environment, and to do your bit to lead a lifestyle that is thoughtful and working with nature rather than against it - this is the message imparted in 352 pages of ideas and suggestions.

The title describes the book perfectly - "slices" of organic life. You can take from the book what suits you - as many slices as you can handle, and there is always the opportunity to return and take another slice when you can manage it. It is beautifully illustrated with photography by Peter Anderson with subjects to suit someone living in an apartment through to those on a small lifestyle property or small holding.

I thought I would list a few of my favourite slices but I can't single any out - instead I ponder on which idea I will set in motion to change a daily habit that I know will ultimate simplify and enrich my life and that of my family.
