Review: A Slice of Organic Life

I always wanted to write a book. Unfortunately someone else has gone and written it. A Slice of Organic Life by Sheherazade Goldsmith (I've been reading too much Harry Potter - that sounds like a great name for a witch) is subtitled "Get Closer to the Soil Without Going the Whole Hog", and it's full of projects you can do to become slightly more self-sufficient. From picking wild berries or raising herbs on a kitchen window ledge, through making compost or growing potatoes in a barrel, to keeping a cow or a couple of pigs, there is a project in here for everyone, whatever your space or your budget.

It's by Dorling Kindersley, so of course it is beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated with such gorgeous photographs it makes pig poo look glamorous. There are lots of suggestions in here I haven't already done, so I'll look forward to using this book as a reference when we get our first goat for example.

I bought it from Borders, so I've already failed in my attempt to buy more second-hand books. But it's a really good book so there. I just wish I'd written it.

I have a pretty strong feeling that it would be a better book if you had written it, Melanie. I looked at it in Waterstones, and saw some useful information, together with quite a lot of "lifestyle" - or, as you put it rather better, glamorous pig poo. Keep on blogging - you could use Lulu to turn it into a book ... or accept that a blog is of more immediate use to its readers, and doesn't involve trees!
