James Gregory, a seedsman from the early 1800, describes and
details his methods and experiences of growing onions commercially.
The information contained in the book is just as relevant today to
gardeners with vegetable plots and allotments, as it was to the
commercial growers of the time. His advice on soil types, manure,
sowing and planting, hoeing and weeding will help any vegetable
grower achieve good crops without the use of modern chemical
applications.
Grow a bumper crop of crunchy cabbages, crispy cauliflower, sweet
baby brustels sprouts and mouth-watering Kale without using
chemical fertilizers or poisonous pesticides - the "Origiganic"
way! It has been only since the 1960s that dangerous
petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides have been in widespread
use, so any serious gardening "how to" treatise published prior to
1960 will, quite "naturally," exclude their use. "Origiganic" is a
new word we have coined here at Better Days Books to describe these
time-tested, chemical-free "original" methods of growing food in
our backyards, gardens and even on full scale farms. With The
Better Days Books Origiganic Guide to Growing Cabbages and
Cauliflowers (Original publication date: 1889) you'll be well on
your way to producing a better, healthier, safer, and even
generally less expensive bounty of fabulous, poison-free food - for
your family and for the marketplace.
