Grow all your family's food with just hand labor, four basic hand tools, and with little or no electricity or irrigation

In hard times, the family can be greatly helped by growing a highly productive food garden, requiring little cash outlay or watering. This book shows that any family with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can halve their food costs using a growing system requiring just the odd bucketful of household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars' worth of hand tools.

Gardening When It Counts helps readers rediscover traditional low-input gardening methods to produce healthy food. Currently popular intensive vegetable gardening methods are largely inappropriate to the new circumstances we find ourselves in. Crowded raised beds require high inputs of water, fertility and organic matter, and demand large amounts of human time and effort. Prior to the 1970s, North American home food growing used more land with less labor, with wider plant spacing, with less or no irrigation, and all done with sharp hand tools. But these sustainable systems have been largely forgotten.

Designed for readers with no experience and applicable to most areas in the English-speaking world except the tropics and hot deserts, Gardening When It Counts is inspiring increasing numbers of North Americans to achieve some measure of backyard food self-sufficiency.

Great Value and Convenient Charging Set
I’m really happy with this MagSafe Charger 2 Pack! The chargers are lightweight, easy to use, and connect perfectly to my phone with a strong magnetic hold. Charging is fast and reliable, and having two chargers is super convenient for home and travel. The cables feel durable and the overall quality is great for the price. Definitely a good purchase if you want an affordable alternative to expensive brand-name chargers. Highly recommend!

Not fast but steady
Not a fast charger but that’s not what I wanted - no over hearing experienced and using for overnight is no issue. With proper power brick it is very serviceable for topping off my 17pro and getting 2 for so cheap makes it a win for me

Fast charging and very reliable.
Having multiple chargers has been a game changer! I keep one in my car and one at my desk, and one in my purse so I’m never without power when I need it. The build quality feels solid and durable, and they don’t overheat like some cheaper alternatives I’ve tried before. The magnetic alignment is strong and precise, snapping perfectly into place every time without any fuss. Charging is fast, consistent, and reliable across all my devices. They are small size and fit in the little zipper part on the inside of a small purse! My favorite thing about these chargers is each charger in the pack comes with an extra adapter so you can plug it in a USB port or take the adapter off and use in a USB-C port. These are very handy! Especially if you have multiple children and devices! We keep one plugged in the charging port in the front seat and the middle seats in my SUV!

Excellent Magnetic Charger
I am very satisfied with this purchase. The chargers are easy to use, attach securely to the phone, and charge efficiently. The two-pack is very convenient, allowing me to keep one at home and take the other with me. The quality feels good, and they work exactly as described. I highly recommend them!

Tiny Upgrade, Big Convenience!
These ended up being one of those small purchases that actually makes everyday life easier 😅 The magnets snap right into place and actually stay put, so charging is actually effortless. One thing I really love is that I can still use my phone’s port for headphones or other stuff while charging wirelessly. The 2-pack is awesome too, I keep one by my bed and one at my desk. Overall they work really well, charge consistently, and feel like a great value for the price.
