About the Author
It has been Ed Robinson and wife Carolyn's dream that every family can own a home and a little land. Their classic book, The "Have-More" Plan, was written in the 1940's. The book has been kept in print unchanged because it is still, after 50 years, a useful reference for the home gardener. Over 500,000 people have now discovered how to do things in ways that work simply and well. Ed said, " ...poultry, goats, lettuce, and home canning haven't changed much in the generation since The "Have-More" Plan was first published. Today home gardening seems on the verge of a giant step forward: We can now get more produce on small plots by using plastic cover-ups over raised beds to extend growing seasons. This ushers in a new era for home production."

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastically dated artwork and writing; timeless tips.,
By Del Hughes (Clackanaw@aol.com) (Paradise, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The "Have-More" Plan (Paperback)
We have converted our large city lot to a mini Have More Plan ranchette. While funky for its dated artwork and nifty lingo, The Have More Plan is an invaluable resource for long-term do-it-yourselfers and country gentlemen. Everything from hacking up chickens to designing the perfect kitchen for home food processing. WE LOVE THIS BOOK!!

Origional vs Rewrite,
By
This review is from: The "Have-More" Plan (Paperback)
I have the great luck to have a copy of this book's first edition, 1947. It went through a major editing in 1970 by the Editors of Mother Earth News. It was edited again, very badly by the editors of Gardenway 1973. The original is very definitely a book, all 326 pages with index. A second edition came out in 1948/9 that added a reference for further reading at the end of each chapter. Most of these pamphlets and books referred to here were were printed by the Country Bookstore which latter became Gardenway and then Storey. Look for the original hardback ca 1947 or 1948 for the second edition. You will have much more satisfaction. There are so many places that ham handed editing have made this book a man's only book. It spends most of its time out side and leaves the kitchen/harvest room to be worked out by the wife and an architect. Giving you no idea what is needed in the way of space, layout or basic equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best source of basic information for small homesteaders.,
By dlingner@netscape.net (North America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The "Have-More" Plan (Paperback)
Written in the forties, this book has a wealth of information for anyone looking to live a self-reliant lifestyle. Contains all the basic information you would need to get started. Extremely helpful in layout of property and farm building design, in order to maximize land and building space and more importantly time. A must have book for modern day homesteaders.
