E.C.: I love this book, which is well-written and beautifully photographed. Since it's in full color, it's a lovely book to leaf through just to enjoy the pictures. It's a genre-bending mix between a memoir, an autobiography, and a how-to book.
There are several things I hadn't considered, as a lifelong gardener, that upped my gardening game this season, as well as some good basic knowledge for beginning gardeners. There are some excellent charts aimed at those just getting started, as well as instructions on how to lay out a garden and start growing chickens for eggs and meat. There are also recipes for using what you grow.
The tone of this book is easygoing and informational, with some anecdotes about failures and successes from the author as well as additional resources listed at the back and a handy appendix. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and learned some new things about homesteading as well!

creativedeeds: This may be the first non-fiction book that I’ve reviewed, so don’t think that you’ve stumbled across the wrong blog. Among other things, this review will reveal that I have more than a passion for reading, I also have a passion for growing… flowers, herbs, vegetables (you get the idea…)

If you could take a peek at my most watched and subscribed to YouTube channels, you’d find a lot of vlogs dedicated to homesteading and gardening. One of the people that I’ve followed for quite some time is Justin Rhodes. If “chickens are the gateway ‘drug’ to homesteading” then for me, Justin Rhodes was the gateway ‘drug’ to following homesteaders and home gardeners on their journey to self-sustainment. My husband and I have been gardening for years and we are well past the time in our lives that we could even consider becoming homesteaders, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t pick up useful tips and encouragement from people like Justin.

Even though I was familiar with Justin and his family before picking up The Rooted Life, I still learned some things and picked up even more tips. Besides that, his writing was entertaining and the pictures were...

Allison DeyAllison Dey: First of all - When you signed up for the bonuses for having pre-ordered the book, Mr. Rhodes explained the autographed sticker you can put in the book and seeds will be mailed out to you. This was clearly stated by Mr. Rhodes in his promotions. Don't blame him or Amazon because you didn't listen to what he said.

Now the review. Of all the things to come out of the Big C years, this speaks to what a lot of people want right now: a home, a garden, a life they have some control over. Most people are completely dependent on resources someone else has produced. Lots of us want to produce more of what we need right at home and be less dependent on corporations. We want healthy food, clean food. This book is a great guide for how to start to produce those resources ourselves.

I thought the book was so useful that I bought a second copy to give to a friend who is having a hard time managing the chickens and the garden she wants. She was excited seeing how the book walked her through exactly how to plan what she wants and can manage and how to care for a garden and chickens. Mr. Rhodes (Uncle Justin) encourages homesteaders to do what they can. The advice is practical and...
