Summary

Mini Farming describes a holistic approach to small-area farming that will show you how to produce 85 percent of an average family's food on just a quarter acre - and earn $10,000 in cash annually while spending less than half the time that an ordinary job would require. Even if you have never been a farmer or a gardener, this book covers everything you need to know to get started: buying and saving seeds, starting seedlings, establishing raised beds, soil fertility practices, composting, dealing with pest and disease problems, crop rotation, farm planning, and much more. Because self-sufficiency is the objective, subjects such as raising backyard chickens and home canning are also covered along with numerous methods for keeping costs down and production high.

The content is great and informative, however the narration us dryer than the Sahara Desert.
However I did find that by increasing the playback speed, it helped to make it slightly easier to listen to.

Good Content, Poor Narration

I couldn’t finish it, even sped up it was excruciating. The narrator was so slow and robotic sounding.

Worst narrator ever.

This would be a great informative book but the person reading it sounds like a robot with no interest in the content

Boring
