Organic Gardening - the definitive manual about organic gardening

Ok I have to rave about this book, which is surprisingly cheap considering the amount of information it contains. At $24 it's a steal.
If you're looking for concrete information about your best area to grow your veggies, which are the crucial 7 ingredients to make THE best compost, how to grow foods from sees (yes you can do that !), which ARE the top 10 veggies to grow, and much more, then look no further, because the book has it all and much more.

  1. Your very best area to grow your veggies (pgs 6-8)
  2. How to build up healthy, fertile soil without costing a fortune (pgs 14-19)
  3. How to feed your soil - the organic ways
  4. How to create an easy, 'no-dig' veggie plot (pgs 32-35)
  5. Massive savings by learning how to grow food from seeds (15 page bonus)
  6. 9 Essential tips to successfully transplanting your seedlings (pgs 38-40)
  7. WARNING: avoid killing your established plants when moving them
  8. Tips for the most effective watering (pgs 43-44)
  9. Why mulching is a must in every organic garden (pg45 reveals all)
  10. 5 easy ways to keep your garden weed free (pg 48)
  11. How to slash your food bill in half, feeling healthy and energised
  12. The 7 crucial ingredients to making great compost (pgs 23-25)
  13. What never to put into your compost; don't end up with a sticky, stinky mess
  14. How to make your own organic liquid fertilizers, saving $$'s (pg 50-51)
  15. Natural ways to protect your plants from pests and disease (pgs 52-56)
  16. Top 10 easiest veggies to grow (pgs 57-64)
  17. Secrets to growing lush, healthy herbs (pgs 65-68)
  18. Why to include perennial vegetables (pg 69-71)
  19. What you must do to grow your food if space is limited (pg 77)
  20. How much to plant for your family's needs (pgs 72-76)
That's 20 different lessons I counted and haven't even finished. Heck, for about $1 per lesson, that's already worth the price. Plus you're not paying any shipping (and we all know how expensive shipping for books nowadays is!), you can get the book within 2 minutes, and I'm not kidding. When I bought the book for myself, it was an extremely easy and pleasant process. Before I knew it, I was downloading the book and reading it. Actually I went so far as printing the pages and having my friend binding them (you can just put them in a binder that you purchase for less than $1 from your paper store), and have it at hand all the time, you don't even need the computer for reading it anymore. Actually you might find that you'll go for this step, simply because this book is not purchasable in print.

But I digress. Let's see what other goodies you get for $24, besides this great organic gardening manual.

You'll get further information on:

- How to eliminate the use of chemical pesticides - no need to spray anything nasty in your garden again
-How to start your own organic food garden with simple, easy to follow steps - great for beginners
- How to provide the freshest, nutritious, most delicious foods for your family
- Which are the basic tools you'll need to get started.
- How easy it is to convert your current gardening practices (if you garden already) to organic gardening practices - in a breeze!

That's a lot of organic gardening tips in one place!

Where to start with organic gardening?

Organic gardening is strongly growing in popularity in the recent years, because people increasingly see the need to avoid chemicals and synthetic products. Organic gardens also provide protection form genetically modified organisms in the garden.

Also for many organic growers, farming or gardening is a passion. We feel a connection to the Earth and believe it has become a moral duty to protect her and provide for her. Aside from the apparently spiritual affiliation, it’s just plain fun to be out in the sun playing in the dirt and watching things grow--something I never dreamed I would be doing until my wife Pamela introduced me to organic gardening as a way to help feed our menagerie of exotic pets and help distract me from my hectic business life.

Those who take up organic gardening often have no idea to where to buy supplies, for example. They don't know what products they need for soil nourishment or pest control. They may not know how much water to supply, or how to go about composting kitchen scraps for their gardens. They need more than a few organic garden tips and ideas. Many will need hand-helding through their first steps in organic gardening.
Imagine growing a beautiful garden of orchids, or other plants and be the envy of all your neighbours out there :)

Here are a few tips just to get you started in the right direction with organic gardening:

- Firstly, you need to choose what you will grow and decide how much you will need to plant based on your needs or goals in sales. Without knowing what you want to put in your soil, you can't start organic gardening.

- Second, you need to keep the soil healthy. Healthy soil produces healthy plants. Healthy plants, like healthy humans, are better able to withstand disease.

- Use ladybugs. Yes, ladybugs (or ladybirds as they are also called). These beautiful little red insects with shiny black spots control aphids naturally and totally. You can order them from several organic garden places on the Internet. Until they arrive, spray every part of aphid-infested plants with well diluted soapy water and then rinse with clear water.

- You will also need to know how to make compost. Make compost the lazy way, by layering leaves, lawn clippings, and kitchen waste. Then simply leave it until it's ready. Nature's recyclers will take organic matter no matter how it is presented and turn it into rich, nice dark compost.

These were just a few tips that took from Organic Gardening, my bible for organic gardening.

Organic Gardening

I am passionate about organic gardening, and as this is the latest rave, with the world around us so polluted, and everybody wanting to go natural, to go back to where we all were before we got so much 'industrialized', I've decided to share my knowledge, tips and great product reviews, that will help any newbie in organic gardening become a pro in a jiffy.

So let's get started, shall we?
