About

Erik Knutzen and Kelly Coyne write Homegrown Evolution, a blog that 
explores a fast-growing new movement: urbanites are becoming 
gardeners and farmers. Kelly and Erik are the authors of The Urban 
Homestead coming out in June of 2008 from Process Media. They have 
researched and experimented with small scale urban agriculture since 
moving to their tiny bungalow in Los Angeles ten years ago. Since 
2006, in this practical, hands-on blog, we have shared our successes 
and failures and include step-by-step directions and links to 
resources that will get you started urban homesteading immediately, 
whether you live in an apartment or a house. Contact us at survivela

Publisher Comments:

The Urban Homesteadis 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 cities.

If you would like to harvest your own vegetables, raise city 
chickens, or convert to solar energy, this practical, hands-on book 
is full of step-by-step projects that will get you started 
homesteading immediately, whether you live in an apartment or a 
house. It is also a guidebook to the larger movement and will point 
you to the best books and Internet resources on self-sufficiency topics.

Projects include:
    * How to grow food on a patio or balcony
    * How to clean your house without toxins
    * How to preserve food
    * How to cook with solar energy
    * How to divert your grey water to your garden
    * How to choose the best homestead for you

Written by city dwellers for city dwellers, this illustrated, smartly 
designed, two-color instruction book proposes a paradigm shift that 
will improve our lives, our community, and our planet. Authors Kelly 
Coyne and Erik Knutzen happily farm in Los Angeles and run the urban 
homestead blog www.homegrownrevolution.org.
