Rockwell provides a concise though thorough coverage of indoor and
greenhouse gardening. The author has written numerous books on all
aspects of gardening including "Home Vegetable Gardening," "Round
the Year in the Garden," and "The Key to the Land."
This is a new release of the original 1935 edition.
For those who understand the significance of home-grown foods to
surviving and thriving in difficult times, F. F. Rockwell's
no-nonsense Home Vegetable Gardening: A Complete And Practical
Guide To The Planting And Care Of All Vegetables, Fruits And
Berries Worth Growing For Home Use, may be the best single volume,
practical manual of family-feeding, high-yield home gardening ever
compiled. With some, the home vegetable garden is a hobby; with
others, especially in these days of high prices, a great help.
There are many in both classes whose experience in gardening has
been restricted within very narrow bounds, and whose present spare
time for gardening is limited. It is as "first aid" to such
persons, who want to do practical, efficient gardening, and do it
with the least possible fuss and loss of time, that this book is
written. "Home Vegetable Gardening" can be very useful for the
small space gardener as it discusses at length, basics of
gardening. Anywhere the book describes use of horses, logic would
indicate that a tiller of varying sizes could be substituted. Crop
rotation is also discussed, and multiple acres are not needed for
this. Instructions on constructing a manure-driven hotbed (the way
things were done before electric seedling heat mats were around)
are also included. Another section of "Home Gardening" discusses
prepping sods for seed starting, the way things were done years
before pellet pots, plastic seed flats and cell packs were common.
"Home Gardening" is old enough to resurrect much of the forgotten
techniques used by our grandparents and great-grandparents, when
they had to garden more naturally and self-sufficiently rather than
buying everything from the garden store. It might also be helpful
for the budding survivalist who no longer wants to rely on
manufactured products. The list of seed varieties is fascinating.
When it comes to gardening basics, the publishing date of this book
matters very little: many things haven't changed at all. In fact,
this book might be better for beginners since it is a book that
encourages a do-it-yourself and a 'from the ground up' tone. It is
almost void of any pre-made devices and there are no gimmicky
products being hocked. In "Home Gardening," the old standby tools
are recommended, time tested and readily available.
