With more than 45,000 copies sold since 1988, The New Organic Grower has become a modern classic. In this revised and expanded edition, master gardener Coleman continues to present his common sense and sustainable approach to growing top-quality organic vegetables. He updates information on marketing the harvest, on small-scale equipment, and on farming and gardening for the long-term health of the soil. By Eliot Coleman. Paperback, 340 pages.
Includes all-new chapters such as:
• Farm-Generated Fertility – how to meet your soil-fertility needs from the resources of your own land.
• The Moveable Feast – how to construct greenhouses that can be easily moved to benefit plants.
• The Winter Garden – how to plant, harvest, and sell hardy salad crops all winter long.
• Pests? – how to find “plant-positive” rather than “pest-negative” solutions by growing healthy plants.
