Bake bread. Start a wormery. Shop locally. Plant a tree. Find out how to get closer to the soil, without going the whole hog. Discover 80 simple, eco projects you can dip in and out of, from growing salad on your window-sill, to collecting rainwater. Pick up what you need using the directory of useful organic stockists and websites, then choose a project to suit your pocket and lifestyle. You don't need a garden, special equipment, or even much time.

To get closer to the soil there's no need to become completely self-sufficient or make radical sacrifices to the way you live. With this book, just pick out the projects that appeal and follow the straightforward practical advice to make small changes to your life. Even if your home is an urban apartment, there's still plenty you can do.

Grow salad on a window sill or rear Rhode Island Reds to keep you in eggs; find out how to shop ethically or wear natural fibres. Whatever your passion, A Slice of Organic Life helps you enjoy a different and more rewarding way of life.
