The purpose of this Growing and Seed Saving Book is to give an overview of the many types of survival garden plants and how to successfully grow them in a survival scenario. The plants described in this book are Heirloom varieties that have not been genetically modified, therefore may be grown in many different growing regions and environments. These types of plants are best suited for Survival gardens, as they will typically adapt to their environment year after year creating a strong growing crop specific to your area. 

The term “organic” is often confused with things such as “Non-GMO,” or “Heirloom” varieties. Most of the time, people believe that an “organic” seed is the appropriate type of seed for survival. This is not always the case, as “organic” seeds may have simply been harvested from a parent crop that was grown organically with no pesticides or chemical fertilizer. Contrary to popular belief, many Hybrid seeds are actually grown sold and marketed as "Organic" as well. For a true survival garden, you’ll want to find seeds that are at minimum “Heirloom” varieties. These seeds will produce crops with harvest-able seeds that will produce genetically similar crops every year. 

Many people become overwhelmed by the differences in growing each of these varieties and will quickly consider their gardens a failure and give up. In a survival situation, giving up could mean much more than a perishing vegetable garden. It is important to understand not only when to start your seeds, but in what temperature environment they will germinate and become a producing plant. This guide explains everything from germination temperature, to how long germination should take, the types of fertilizer (if any) to use, your days to harvest, how to harvest, and how to harvest the seeds of your plants.

Also included in this book, you will find a ton of information about growing herbs and their medicinal properties. Make your own natural medicine in the event of a survival situation.

Labs love this!!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our Lab LOVES everything about this thing! Recommend getting extra durable balls as the 1 included fell apart in 1 hour. I have a very energetic Lab retriever that we have to force to stop playing ball so he does not overheat. That & the force with which you can throw this ball did not help keeping it from splitting it in 2 in less than 1 hour. This is worth the money for the extra throwing power & distance but do invest in the ULTRA strong ball for dogs like retrievers! Also, be sure to order the correct SIZE OF BALL, specific to each different size of throwing wand. My fav thing about this item is #1 the joy my dog gets from the new challenge of racing to catch longer throws, & #2 I don't have to get my hands covered in dog slobber!! He has gotten to where he can almost put it in the cup himself so I won't waste time throwing the ball again! Man, I love that dog!!! ❤️

Must-Have for Active Dogs!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
The Chuckit Sport 26L Dog Ball Launcher has been a game-changer for my large dog! My 80-pound Labrador loves to play fetch, and this launcher makes it so much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. The 26” length gives me the leverage to throw the ball much farther than I could by hand, which really helps burn off my dog’s energy. The included large ball (3”) is the perfect size for big dogs, and I appreciate that it’s made from durable rubber, so it withstands a lot of chewing and rough play. What I really love is that the launcher is so lightweight and easy to use. I can play fetch with my dog for extended periods without my arm getting tired. The ergonomic handle also provides a comfortable grip, which is a nice touch. If you have a large, active dog, the Chuckit Sport 26L is a must-have. It’s well-made, durable, and makes fetch more fun for both you and your dog. Highly recommend!

ChuckIt is AMAZING!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
I can't throw a ball to save my soul. Just got this today and lobbed a ball to the far end of my 1- acre yard. The dog loves it, and I love it!

I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Helpful for throwing as much as my dog wants to fetch. I actually had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder a few months after getting my dog - never had a dog with this much energy before! The Chuckit really helps. Downside: The ball that comes with it is larger than a tennis ball, so may be too much for smaller doge. I can't imagine my sister-in-law's french bulldog carrying it! Also, in our house it gets destroyed within minutes, as my dog is a strong chewer. For this situation, I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Black, size Large. This is shaped sort of like a snowman, which means it bounces unpredictably at times. My dog eventually chews the "head" off of this toy, but the remaining 2/3 still fits in the Chuckit (and is actually easier to throw with the "head" missing!). One caveat: the KONG is significantly heavier than the ball included with the Chuckit, so be aware of that... Also, we ordered our first Chickit in October 2015, then needed to replace it in May of 2017, as it broke. I think the plastic became brittle over that time, as we left it out in the sun & rain in Florida. Since it is cheap to replace, that's not a big deal. (We ordered three Kong toys over that same period of time!) To summarize, it's a very helpful tool to get the ball further, faster, with less strain, than without it. Knowing there are alternatives to the included ball for heavy chewers makes it worthwhile.

Great Ball Launcher!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our dogs love this ball launcher! I can throw the ball long distances without any arm strain. The balls wear out, and as described by others, tennis balls don’t fit. Buy extra balls if this is of concern. We bought a few of the “Chuck It” rubber 3” balls and they have worked well for our dogs. It’s a great value and fun for the dogs.
