Ever since our 20 year old daughter brought home the book A Slice of Organic Life from the library, I haven't been able to put it down. At first, I was a little disappointed at the thought of not being able to afford organic living, but after going through the book, I noticed we had been living organically for quite a while.
The book is divided into three categories. Part 1 is called No Need For a Yard, part 2 is called Roof Terrace, Patio, or Tiny Yard and part 3 is called Yard, Community Garden, or Field. In this amazing book, there is a project for just about everyone. There are even recipes for almost every project throughout the book. I highly recommend this book!
