This book is ideal for beginners, improvers and those serious about
growing tasty, healthy organic fruit and vegetables. It will
empower readers to grow food for a family, and help work out how to
get the best results. Many books give sowing and growing
instructions for a multitude of crops, but few give space to the
techniques and tips that make gardening easier and that help anyone
to grow healthy, sustainable food. Some of the techniques are
developed from Joyce's own trials and observations; others are
classic techniques that are still useful now. With a bit more
detail, and a step-by-step project, a technique becomes much easier
to follow and understand. There's something here for everyone:
whether you grow in a small back yard and want to know how to raise
salad in buckets, or if you have a large allotment where you want
to improve pollination, or make your own liquid feeds. The book
makes several promises to its readers. Firstly, by following its
advice you will grow great fruit and vegetables. Next, the
knowledge you gain will save you time as well as money. Third,
you'll enjoy the gardening journey and the discoveries made along
the way. Fourth, you'll find greener and cleaner ways of doing
things, and you'll improve your skills, methods and habits. Find
out how to rotate your vegetables so they stay healthy and
well-fed, to preserve choice crops for the freshest taste, to
improve the soil organically and sustainably, and to produce home
made fertiliser from the leaves of your comfrey crop.
