Book Price: $22.50 |
A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques
for the Home and Market Gardener
Includes:
• Farm-Generated Fertility - how to meet your soil-fertility needs
from the
resources of your own land, even if manure is not available.
• The Moveable Feast - how to construct home-garden and commercial-scale
greenhouses that can be easily moved to benefit plants and avoid insect
and disease build-up.
• The Winter Garden - how to plant, harvest, and sell hardy salad
crops all winter long from unheated or minimally heated greenhouses.
• Pests? - how to find "plant-positive" rather than "pest-negative"
solutions by growing healthy, naturally resistant plants.
• The Information Resource - how and where to learn what you need
to know to grow delicious organic vegetables, no matter where you live.
I strongly believe in the values and rewards of the small farm. I wish
to
encourage them. And so this book is written for those with a small-farm
dream.
But it also has a wealth of ideas to offer the serious home gardener.
The
efficient professional techniques described here are basically scale-neutral
and can be used to make everyone's vegetable-growing efforts more productive
and enjoyable. And who knows? The best gardeners often move up to become
small farmers.
Organic growing is not complicated. Nor is it difficult. It is the most
straightforward way of raising plants. Difficulties usually arise from
a
misunderstanding of how it works. Once the principles are clear, gardeners
from backyard to back forty can tune onto the existing balances of the
natural system and grow the crops they have always dreamed of.
