If You Only Could Pick One Book.....
1 Aug 2000
Format:Hardcover
Organic gardening is the only way that really makes sense when you get right down to it. Nature's perfect cycle of plant's growth, bearing fruit, and decomposition back to the soil can't be improved upon by ANY artificial means. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are dangerous, expensive, and totally unnecessary if you will take the time to understand the very simple methods of organic gardening. There are few things quite so satisfying as watching your garden grow and thrive using the organic method. You will be shocked at just how productive even a relatively small garden can be, and once you see how easy it is to go organic, you'll never use anything synthetic on your plants again. This book sold me completely on organic gardening, and I'll bet it will do the same for you.

Best Gardening book ever!
6 Mar 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book covers everything you ever wanted to know about growing fruits and vegetables. It's arranged well, with each plant getting a quick history, seed starting/planting basics as well as harvest/storing information. There are also great stories of old timers who have used these methods with amazing results. I grow produce to sell, and I do own other books on the subject, but this book lives on my dining table and gets used regularly, while the rest get taken off the shelf for occaisional reference. You can"t go wrong buying this book.

How to Grow Vegetables and Fruits by the Organic Method
1 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have had a copy of this book for 30 years. I recently got another for a gift, my neighbor wants to start a vegetable garden, so I went to Amazon and sure enough there it was. This book is timeless, the Organic Method it describes hasn't changed, only the people have. The section describing each vegetable and how to ready the soil is detailed and easy to understand. If you are interested in protecting your kids, pets and yourself from pesticides and chemicals this book is for you. Again, I have been using it for over thirty years and I grow the best vegetables in the neighborhood. When I give the surplus away I am confident that no one will be harmed with poisons.
