For the sake of his family's health, Justin wanted to eat organic and free-range foods. But he was suffering severe sticker shock every time he bought those things because they were so expensive. That is when he saw a package of lettuce seeds at the store. When he looked at it, he discovered that for the small price the seeds cost, he would reap bushels of lettuce. That was a life changing moment. Even though Justin didn't have any gardening experience, he claims it wasn't hard to grow things. As time went on, he has produced more of his own food. He has branched out to raising chickens and other livestock. It is all organic, and Justin declares nothing tastes as good as something fresh from the garden. The Rhodes have grown things year-round, and often have eaten complete meals containing only things they have produced. Justin chronicles their captivating story, along with easy-to-follow instructions to copy everything he has done. He includes advice about growing extra, selling it, and using that money to eat for free. Going back to nature, living off the land, these are catch phrases that have been enticing people for years to give the self-sustaining life a chance. But not too many people stay with it because it can be a lot of hard work, sometimes with very little to show for it. Justin not only thought about this life-style, but did it, and says he has found a way to make it attainable--and he tells you how. This five-star, over-sized book contains beautiful pictures of his family, and their gardens. Enjoy his story, and if it inspires you, start producing your own healthy food. This will appeal to fans of biographies or gardeners, as well as, readers in general. Hachette Books has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, The Rooted Life, for the purpose of review.

That’s one of the key values and benefits of the rooted life: Simply working together. Doing something good side by side,” Justin Rhodes writes in his book, The Rooted Life: Cultivating Health & Wholeness Through Growing Your Own Food. ~ What ~ This two-hundred-and-eight-page hardbound targets those who want to learn how to grow food on their homestead, be it via container, bulletproof, or crop gardens. After a table of contents, the book is divided into ten chapters. It ends with acknowledgments, resources, an appendix, and the author’s biography. Full-color photographs are spread throughout the book. The first chapter explains how the writer and his family got into growing food on their seventy-five-acre farm in North Carolina and four major obstacles they had to overcome. The second chapter offers four rules to start a garden, while the third has three different types of gardening, followed by a chapter on winter produce. The next three chapters involve raising chickens for eggs or meat and enhancing the soil. Chapter eight has tips about harvesting along with nine recipes. The ninth chapter promotes family involvement, and the final one encourages starting the garden and enjoying staying at home while being active in a community. ~Why ~ This is a unique read that is written more personably than other books on gardening. I appreciate the writer often referring to his wife as the Beautiful One and how he struggled with chronic Lyme disease while establishing their gardens. The sections on locating the garden close to the house and Permaculture were interesting. ~ Why Not ~ Some may not be interested in books that promote living mostly off the land for food. Others may wish there were more illustrations showing plants, beds, and planting techniques. A few may consider the book rudimentary in detail due to its story-like format of personal experiences. ~ Wish ~ Although the photographs were beautiful and detailed, I wish they had visual descriptions of plants instead of many with the family. It would have been nice to include plant growing times, layout suggestions, and an index. ~ Want ~ If you desire to grow your own organic food throughout the year, this is a good gardening book rooted in the basis of working hard together to achieve a nutritious goal. Thanks to Hachette Book Group, Worthy, and the author for this complimentary book that I am under no obligation to review.
