Diddly Squat: Home to Roost is the latest installment in Jeremy Clarkson’s bestselling series chronicling the chaos, comedy, and calamity of life at Diddly Squat Farm. In this volume, Clarkson faces yet another year of agricultural misadventures: the spring barley crop fails, just like the oilseed rape and durum wheat; the oats turn the color of a hearing aid, and the mushrooms go mouldy. Even livestock—sheep, pigs, and cows—prove hardly more lucrative, prompting Clarkson to joke that he’d be better off breeding ostriches.

Despite uncooperative weather, relentless bureaucracy, and a local planning department determined to thwart his every move, Clarkson refuses to be beaten. The farm shop continues to thrive—especially with its notorious “knacker hammock” scented candles—and he finds solace in the company of girlfriend Lisa, Farm Manager Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie, and Gerald, his Head of Security. The book is filled with Clarkson’s trademark wit, rants about rural life, and laugh-out-loud stories, from failed crops to run-ins with officialdom and the joys of owning a JCB telehandler and a crop-spraying hovercraft
