Opis

'Common Scents Organic Gardening' provides comprehensive time, cost and water saving techniques for creating and maintaining a sustainable kitchen garden. The book includes chapters on Tools & Equipment, Site Characteristics, Garden Layout, Keeping Chickens, Creating a 'Viable' Soil (including Composting and Mulch), Dog Patrol and Techniques for Planting, Harvesting and Propagation including selecting, dehydrating and storing seeds and transplanting seedlings and cuttings. As no chemical pesticides are used, a variety of insects, spiders and birds attracted to the kitchen garden have created a naturally balanced ecosystem with minimal damage to produce. As a result fresh, healthy and abundant produce is available year after year.
