This is low maintenance, year round, no dig gardening that provides
your kitchen with delicious fresh food, whilst not breaking your
back. Written by an acknowledged expert, this friendly guide will
help you grow food in whatever space you have - large or small,
rural or urban - with minimal bought in inputs, and maximum
satisfaction. This collection of Patrick Whitfield's pioneering
writings explores the cutting edge of permaculture gardening that
is eminently practical and visionary all at the same time. Patrick
describes an evolving system that is totally chemical free,
requiring little input from outside the garden gate. His minimalist
approach uses techniques like no dig, raised beds, perennial
vegetables and self-seeding salads as ground cover, plus mulching
when appropriate. This minimises work in the garden whilst
producing an abundance of food. Patrick describes how to select
plants based on what you like to eat and how to combine them in
polycultures that confuse pests. He mixes annual hybrids, heritage
varieties and perennial vegetables and has a pragmatic approach to
selecting seeds and seed saving. There are also tips on selecting
fruit varieties, from berries to fruit trees, including how to
choose rootstocks and varieties.
