The Urban Homestead is the essential handbook for a fast-growing new movement: urbanites are becoming gardeners and farmers. Rejecting both end-times hand wringing and dewy-eyed faith that technology will save us from ourselves, urban homesteaders choose instead to act. By growing their own food and harnessing natural energy, they are planting seeds for the future of our c

Shelves: nonfiction, 2009, 5-star, own

I have to say that I was initially very skeptical of this book; as I perused the table of contents I was nearly convinced that this was just another book for yuppies with yards (YWYs). As I live in a tiny 200 sq. ft. (at best) studio apartment with no land space, no balcony, and only north facing windows, I was certain this book wouldn't have anything useful for me in it.

However, it does have some really great projects and ideas, from growing food to composting, that can be accomplis...more

Subtitled "Your Guide to Self-Sufficient Living in the Heart of the City," this volume in the Process Self-Reliance Series bills itself as "a project and resource book, complete with step-by-step illustrations and instructions to get you started homesteading right now." It really delivers, both to absolute beginners and to folks who have already ventured into the world of urban homesteading.

The authors start with growing food. Chapter One offers guidance on the four general strategies for growing food in an urban setting, followed by directions for making seed balls. This chapter gives basic yet useful information about permaculture, then goes into helpful detail about the seven guiding principles of successful urban farming.

Chapter Two gives step-by-step instructions for five projects the authors deem essential for growing food, including starting a compost pile, composting with worms, mulching, building a raised bed, and building self-watering containers. The second half of the chapter includes guidelines for a variety of undertakings, including staring seeds, transplanting, making fertilizer tea, container gardening, installing drip irrigation, controlling insect and animal pests, and rotating crops. The directions are comprehensive; it is not assumed that the reader already has a lot of gardening knowledge and experience, which is beneficial to both novices and folks needing a refresher course.

Urban foraging is the topic of chapter three, and everything from eating acorns to dumpster diving is covered. Six things to know about eating wild are explained in the feral edibles section, along with a list of "some of the most liked, most widespread edible weeds in the continental U.S." There are also sections on invasive edibles, fruit foraging, and reviving day old bread.

Chapter Four focuses on keeping livestock in the city. It includes ample advice about chickens, including where to get them, what to feed them, and how to house them. Other livestock considered include ducks, rabbits, pigeons, quail, and bees.

"Revolutionary Home Economics" is an extensive chapter dealing with the "indoor arts." The first part of the chapter is about food. There are instructions about preserving food through canning, pickling, and drying, as well as by other means. There are also directions for making yogurt, ricotta cheese, and butter. The second half of the chapter is all about cleaning and includes formulas for making DIY cleaning supplies using baking soda, distilled white vinegar, and liquid castile soap. There’s also a short section on dealing with household pests. The chapter ends with valuable tips on what to look for and what choices to make if choosing a new urban homestead.

Chapter Six is about water and power for the homestead and includes information about conserving and harvesting rainwater. There are several projects pertaining to greywater, including running a greywater source directly outside and making a greywater wetland. Topics in the energy section include using insulation and solar heat to increase energy efficiency, alternatives to gas-heated showers, solar cookers, and wind and solar power.

The last chapter, "Transportation," is rather short. It touches on walking but basically emphasizes cycling. The book ends with a comprehensive resource list, including websites, books, and magazines. Disappointingly, there is no index.

The Urban Homestead is a fantastic introduction to living off the land, even when there’s not much land available. It's not meant to be read once, cover to cover. It’s meant to be kept on hand as a resource, a book to refer to again and again in the garden, in the kitchen, in the workroom. There’s a lifetime of information packed in to these 308 pages, and the time to start using that information is now.

For that alone, I consider the book valuable in spite of its flaws.

I gave this book four stars, and I've been talking it up to a lot of people, but honestly I'm still a bit concerned. This book has many grammatical errors. And I know that Process is a really small press, and some of the errors might be typesetting (you get what you pay for) but it makes me hesitant to recommend the book.

However, I like their 'you will fail and that's okay' ethos. I like that they scale the book between easy reasonable projects and crazy lunatic projects. I like that they believe things should be 1) cheap and 2) easy.

I bought the book after reading their website and would really have liked more background on the two of them, where did they grow up, what sorts of childhoods do they have, do they work at home, make a lot of money, make no money, what convinced them to do all this (they give lots of reasons one might want to grow one's own food, but I never really felt I knew why they started, though I get why they do it now), and while early in the blog they talk about not having children, they really don't get into how kids could radically effect your urban homestead.

Also, I found it weird that they didn't research green cleaning methods for granite counter tops. They just sort of said, we don't know and threw up their hands. My mom researched the same thing when she got new counter tops and she cleans hers with vodka. (Also worth pointing out - they are always going on and on about how much smarter our grandparents/great-grandparents were when it comes to being harmonious with the world around us, well both my grandmother and her mother used gasoline to clean soapscum. Works a treat, but I've gotten first degree chemical burns, so I wouldn't EVER do it again.)

Finally while I'm very glad their dog ignores their chickens, our miniature dachshund did in about ten of our neighbor's pullets. Yet they recommend dachshunds as dogs that will keep critters out of your garden, without mentioning any conflict of keeping animals. Their are numerous other places (in the heating and cooling your house section) where their advice is also conflicting.

It just seems as though, no matter how good the tips, projects and ideas are, that the book lacks personal information, while being from a personal (and weirdly not researched enough) point of view.

But I'm definitely building self watering containers! And maybe doing the worm composting if I can convince my boyfriend. And I really want to grow a box of mixed greens for salad. And start biking... and....

This is book is rad. I want to buy it though. I got it at the library, and now I want it as a resource for the "homestead." It makes me want to plant stuff, and move so I can have chickens. I keep reading about the fascinating world of chickens, providing their own kind of "chicken t-v" and I am most intrigued.

PS - I am REALLY enjoying the cleaning section of this book. I made my own soft scrub from their "recipe" and I'll never go back! Delightful....more

This book is not the be-all-end-all on any one subject, and it cannot save the world. Rather, it is an organized way of thinking about your urban home as a site to support and sustain your family, rather than a place to sleep & keep the things you buy. This book has answers to problems. This book is chock full of solutions. From keeping livestock to gardening to generating your own power and baking your own bread, the basics of the long-lost domestic arts are revised here in a basic, tangible text. The sections are clear. The directions are brief and concise. You will not become an expert on anything, but the resource section will definitely point you in the right direction for each subject.

The idea is that we have lost our domestic arts. But you can take a habit that irritates you the most, and change it, or chose the practice that seems easiest to implement into your life, and start there. If you try one thing, it fits well into your lifestyle and you like the results, try another. And another. Within a short period of time, your lifestyle can be vastly improved. I've already renewed my interest in urban chickens, which has long been on the backburner of my mind. My biggest problem is convincing my wife - "if you don't want to eat them or their eggs, why have them?" she asks. so far, "to watch chicken tv and compost their poop" has not been an adequate response.

I wanted to get this book from the library, but the wait was long and I really wanted to read it. However, I try really hard not to buy books, ever. My wife, Krista, surprised me one day and picked it up downtown. She delivered it to me, "I know you wanted it." And I am so happy I own it. I'm spoiled.

Kelly & Erik manage to be inspirational and instructive without being pretentious or intimidating. It felt like their intention was genuinely to get me off my ass and get a sourdough starter and get my compost heap working. They were honest about things that are a waste of money, and what is worth spending on. Their own limitations were right there, spelled out, like "there's not time to explain this whole thing, but here is someone's book who can explain it perfectly."

The sections are:
Start Your Own Farm
Essential Projects
Urban Foraging
Livestock in the City
Revolutionary Home Economics
Be Your Own Utility: Water and Power for the Homestead
Transportation

Great information to get you started gardening vegetables on your patio or in your yard, keeping a few animals, making your own bread, yogurt, and beer, and even dumpster diving (ahem, "urban foraging"). So many fun projects! The authors' can-do attitude and eagerness really come through.

Not revolutionary nor new, but wisely refocusing and offering up ideas and information that anyone can apply with even the most basic of backyards.

The thing that made it so readable is that the writing is *sane*. There's an important distinction to be made between those who want to go completely off the grid and those who just want to find ways to be a bit more self-sufficient and to have a bit more control over what we eat and how w...more

This book is great, though I only read the sections on gardening and rainwater harvesting in depth (skipped the stuff on livestock & foraging, skimmed the stuff on food preservation and energy). In some ways, every small space garden book is a repeat once you've taken a permaculture design course & been immersed in urban ag for a while, but the glut of information and choices on homesteading can be so overwhelming as to be paralyzing. This book stands out by presenting very targeted projects, clearly explained and prioritized for dense, urban conditions, with advice organized by access to space.

Inspired me to take out a pencil and map the sunny, under-used lounge in my collective house, designing planters with materials handy or affordable, dream up nifty ways to reflect & increase light (CFL lamps, mirrors) and to list specific plants to grow-- prioritize food that are "expensive, unavailable, or flavorless" at local stores.
- three window planters on end tables, with bush beans, salad greens, and hardy greens (chard/beets)
- herbs like basil and especially mint, given its nature of being repulsive in the opinion of mice (we have already made homemade mint-scented cleaning spray & tucked peppermint teabags in our mouse-ridden closets to good effect, alongside getting super diligent about food crumbs & borrowing a neighbor's cat for a week)
- maybe a hanging pot in the sunniest window with cherry tomatoes
- a bucket with bell or hot peppers?
- berries-- inside??

Also, to expand our house composting to include vermiculture with the intent of making good plant food. The last time I vermicomposted, the results were bad because it was our only compost pile and our food waste output quickly overwhelmed the worms; it became a smelly gross mess. But if we managed their feeding a bit more and limited how much food goes in the worm bin, we could make some super yummy plant food for the pots.

Cool storage closed shelving for Food Not Bombs root veggies in the stairwell?

And, time to ask the landlord about putting in raised beds, and designing some kind of mix of perennials, food annuals, and bioregionally specific habitat on our 6-foot by 40-foot strip of yard.

There are so many of these books, but for my money the earmark of a keeper are ones that can outline canning in simple, no-fuss language (It's really not that hard). "Urban Homestead" does that and fully explains everything from aerating compost properly to transportation alternatives in and out of the garden in easy-to-understand instructions. It helps that the authors also don't feign that chirpy Martha Stewart tone and give the cons of every activity, as well. Combine with the Foxfi...more

I loved the writing style in this book, which was half the fun in reading it. They covered some well-known homesteading topics, but also touched on some new areas like raised game birds. My critique is that the topics were not covered, in general, in enough depth to feel like you knew everything you needed to know to jump in. The authors acknowledged that by providing recommendations on where to go to read more about various topics. Otherwise, a nice summary book on the homesteading lifestyle.

I wasn't that impressed with this book the first time I read it, but now that I am doing projects from it nearly every day, I have to admire the sheer scope of what they are trying to do. I still think that they sacrifice integrity by trying to cover too much; often the instructions are glossed over or incomplete, and there are many distracting editorial errors. But overall an awesome introduction to homesteading! And where they don't give enough info, they direct you to great resources.
