Description

When economic conditions are tough, we all need to watch our spending. John Harrison's simple, tried and tested methods will help you to enjoy a better standard of living while saving money and helping the environment. Discover the benefits of growing your own fruit and vegetables, raising chickens, making butter, cheese and bread, and brewing your own beer. Save energy, save on your bills. Harvest food for free and avoid waste. Play the supermarkets at their own game and get the best deals. See how to recycle, re-use, make do and mend. Find out if solar power is right for you and whether wind power makes domestic sense.

Author Biography

John Harrison lives with his wife Val in a small cottage on a hillside in North Wales. They have a busy but contented life, growing much of their own food in the garden. They enjoy their own home-made bread often with home-made butter and jam. They keep poultry who provide them with fresh eggs and meat. John's passion is growing fruit and vegetables, Val's is cooking and preserving which means they complement each other's strengths. In these times of austerity, they enjoy a great quality of life and a good standard of living, without spending money they don't have. Both learned their life lessons from parents and grandparents who lived through the real austerity and shortages of the war. Both enjoy writing, they have had eight books published, and run two popular web sites www.lowcostliving.co.uk and www.allotment-garden.org
