THE difinitive book about sustainable gardening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The book others imitate. The difinitive source of information about sustainable gardening (agriculture on any scale, actually), with understandable diagrams and explanations. The concepts are simple; the work much easier than the old-fashioned "row garden"; the results are more bountiful; your health benefits; the fertility of your soil grows; the environment improves.This will become your bible for planting and growing without chemical fertilizers, insecticides, or weed control.The sustainable methods of producing the food we eat in a small space makes more sense than the wastful techniques perfected and promoted in the last two generations.If you can buy only one book on gardening -- this should be the one.Other resources to consider: "The Backyard Homestead" (Jeavons, et al); "Square Foot Gardening" (Bartholomew) - similar ideas; "Five Acres And Independence" (Kains).Survival is simpler if it has been your way of life.
The best book for starting a vegetable garden. Like a bible.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
If you're starting a garden from scratch or know nothing about gardening, this book is a great way to begin. If you're an accomplished gardener and want to learn more about composting, companion planting, and improving sustainability of your garden, this is a wonderful book. I use it and read it over and over again. It's a wealth of information. The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.
homestead gardener's constant companion for raising food
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
John Jeavons' handbook guides you through the details of raising high-quality food while improving the health of the soil. This bible of biointensive techniques is homestead-friendly. Whether your garden plot is rural or urban, measured in acres or paces, brand-new or well-established, Jeavons' book works as a reference manual, a planning tool, and a problem-solver. My copy is dirty and dog-eared from years of use. The planting tables and charts are a great resource wherever your garden lives. Havi Hoffman Vegetable Gardens
