About Cottage Economy

Step into the practical wisdom of William Cobbett as he tackles the vital questions of rural life. How can you tell when your pig is truly fat enough? Why should you reconsider buying mustard? What are the risks of relying solely on potatoes? Is beer really a better choice than tea? And which type of straw is best for crafting bonnets? First published in 1821-22, Cobbetts *Cottage Economy* serves as an essential guide for the rural laboring cottager. A passionate advocate for the working class amidst a time of great social and industrial change, Cobbett’s radical perspectives and engaging prose offer a fascinating look into the daily lives of smallholders. Nearly 200 years later, his insights still resonate with those pursuing a fulfilling, self-sufficient lifestyle. (Introduction by Philippa) For an in-depth exploration, be sure to check out the figures mentioned in the section on ice houses.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
