Masterful storyteller Michael Tougias shares how he took his carefully manicured lawn and turned it into a highly productive garden.

As inspiring as it is instructive, I Can Eat My Yard guides readers through amending and enriching soil to create the garden of their dreams! From seeding tomato plants to harvesting blueberries, to pots of herbs on your kitchen sill and green-thumb tips for beginners, Tougias delivers a beautiful yet practical guide to self-sufficient DIY-deck and backyard homesteading.  More than your average gardening how-to, I Can Eat My Yard is an agricultural manifesto that teaches its readers to utilize the available areas around them to grow their own food. Tougias’ fresh approach encourages and inspires even the most novice gardeners to improve their green thumb with basic tools and limited space.
