"Growing Green: Animal-Free Organic Techniques" is an essential
guide about organic growing and is perfect for absolute beginners
as well as experienced professionals. This book introduces the
concept of stockfree-organic and shows, through case studies, that
when growers abandon the use of slaughterhouse by-products and
manures they can be rewarded with healthier crops, less weeds,
pests and diseases. In an age where dreams of self-sufficiency seem
unattainable, "Growing Green" shows that making a living from
growing organic vegetables can be achieved by anyone who is willing
to rent land. Until now there have been no comprehensive guidelines
on how to follow the organic standards at the different scales of
vegetable production using tractors, small machinery and hand
tools. This practical and easy-to-follow guide answers: What tools
and machinery will I need? What are the benefits of compost? How do
I manage different green manures? Can I make seed compost without
slaughterhouse by-products? What rotations should I use for
year-round vegetable supply? How do I grow, harvest and store 60
different vegetables? How can I weed without chemicals? How can I
reduce pest and diseases? How can I encourage wildlife? Where
should I sell my produce? How can I ensure that I am reducing my
ecological footprint? An invaluable guide for the grower,
researcher and student; this book will prove to be an important
step forward for the organic movement.
