Growing Self Sufficiency by Sally Nex is an ideal present for anyone thinking about growing their own fruit and vegetables... Sally is enthusiastic and motivating through each chapter, and she knows what she's talking about, moving on from a tiny handkerchief London garden to keeping chickens and sheep and acres of land. An enjoyable read, and I've picked up some useful tips. This book could be the springboard for someone to dive into a life of self sufficiency!

Bridget Blair, BBC journalist and broadcaster

Producing your own food is empowering, and Growing Self-Sufficiency sums up the notion of 'practical self-sufficiency' and the independence it provides.

Paul Melnyczuk, editor of Home Farmer magazine

There can be no better person than Sally Nex to help growers take the next step towards self-sufficiency … She writes with a clarity, enthusiasm and humour that pulls the reader along with her. If you weren't thinking of upping your vegetable-growing game before picking up this book, you soon will be.
