Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening
From Lee Valley
When the inspiration hits to start an organic garden, many novices could benefit from a guidebook that speaks directly to their enthusiasm, their goals and, of course, their need for solid information from a trusted source for organic gardening methods.
In this book, general garden-building skills and specific techniques are presented in growing-season order – from garden planning and planting to growing and harvesting. Many other need-to-know topics such as soil, compost, seeds, pest control and weeds are explained in simple language to ensure success, even on a small scale, on the first try.
More than 100 common garden terms are defined, and Smart Starts sidebars offer doable projects to build confidence and enthusiasm for expanding a garden. A flower, vegetable and herb finder highlights easy-care plants with good track records. Plus, there are no-dig garden methods, simple garden layouts, and tips and hints inspired by the most popular page views on OrganicGardening.com.
A troubleshooting section lessens frustrations and encourages experimentation. Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening is everything a beginning gardener (or one who's new to gardening organically) needs to get growing and keep a garden going strong all season.
