Books, Gardening - How To Grow More Vegetables

d Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops. New Revison coming in March 2012; it might be one of the greatest gardening books of all time. This book highlights the absurdity of many gardening practices. Jeavons expands the biointensive concept to what he calls ‘mini-farming.' This is the growing of a range of foods, including grains and pulses, on the same system. Jeavons also is a big fan of planting by the moon; there are particular days when it is best to sow seeds, other days when its is best to work with the root crops. The book sets out the approach Jeavons has developed, which he calls 'biointensive.' Newly revised edition available March 2012. Current edition available mid January, 2012.
