My main source of information - lots of background and explanation but the most useful condensed section at the back - practical and concise info on planting, management, harvest and storing by vegetable type.

Format:Paperback
This is the number one resource for students on the Biodynamic Organic Agriculture Training at Emerson College - it contains all information about creating and maintaining soil fertility, crop rotations, use of manures, mechanical weed control, gross margins plus individual cultivation descriptions for the 30-odd most important crops. Excellent if you (are trying to) make a living out of small or large scale vegetable production - this book suits both the 2 acre gardener as well as the 20 ha producer. Highly recommended.
