Combining old-fashioned common sense and modern-day ingenuity,
"Pearls of Country Wisdom" offers literally hundreds of ways for
anyone to enjoy a simpler, more natural lifestyle.
In 1995, Deborah Tukua and her family left their suburban home
in Jacksonville, Florida, for life on a farm in rural Tennessee.
When they arrived, Tukua turned to her neighbors in nearby towns
for any pearls of country wisdom they might be willing to share.
Good advise gushed forth from every imaginable source, including
farmers, midwives, herbalists, shopkeepers, and more.
This unique and indispensable book represents the distillation
of a community's tried-and-true techniques for everything from
caring for linen to keeping harmful bugs out of the garden. For
example:
-- Need secret storage space? Who'd think to look inside the
bottom step of a staircase?
-- Keep brown sugar soft: Refrigerate in a glass jar or plastic
bag with a piece of bread or apple.
-- Egg whites applied to a burn give quick relief.
-- Dry baking soda or table salt on a sponge makes an effective
scouring powder.
Every tip is practical, easy, and affordable. Many have been
handed down through generations. "Pearls of Country Wisdom" is
perfect for the novice and seasoned homesteader, as well as anyone
looking to bring a bit of the country life into a city or suburban
home.
