A smallholding is a small farm which normally supports a single family through the growing of cash crops and subsistence crops. This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to planning, establishing, and maintaining a smallholding for pleasure or profit. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, Practical Hints for the Holding constitutes a must-have guide to farmers new and old, and would make for a useful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: Manures and Fertilisers , Lime and Liming , Smallholding Cash Crops , Suitable Potatoes , General Crops for Livestock Feeding , Crops to Grow for Stock Feed , Dredge Corn Mixtures , Grass Seed Mixtures , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
