Download or read book The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden written by Karen Newcomb and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the best books for beginning and experienced vegetable gardeners, this clear, straightforward, easy-to-read gardening bestseller (over 500,000 copies sold) uses organic, biodynamic methods to produce large amounts of vegetables in very small spaces. To accommodate today's lifestyles, a garden needs to fit easily into a very small plot, take as little time as possible to maintain, require a minimum amount of water, and still produce prolifically. That's exactly what a postage stamp garden does. Postage stamp gardens are as little as 4 by 4 feet, and, after the initial soil preparation, they require very little extra work to produce a tremendous amount of vegetables--for instance, a 5-by-5-foot bed will produce a minimum of 200 pounds of vegetables. When first published 40 years ago, the postage stamp techniques, including closely planted beds rather than rows, vines and trailing plants grown vertically to free up space, and intercropping, were groundbreaking. Revised for an all new generation of gardeners, this edition includes brand new information on the variety of heirloom vegetables available today and how to grow them the postage stamp way. Now, in an ever busier world, the postage stamp intensive gardening method continues to be invaluable for gardeners who wish to weed, water, and work a whole lot less yet produce so much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: Per Readers' Requests, we have updated this vintage gardening book with the original photos as they appeared in the first publication. Please note that some photos are rotated to fit the page and we have left them the way the author had them.This is a real glimpse back in history with lots of secrets for the modern vegetable gardener.Here is an excerpt from the book:"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 his book is written.In his own experience, the author has found that garden books, while seldom lacking in formation, often do not present it in the clearest possible way. It has been his aim to make the present volume first of all practical, and in addition, though comprehensive, simple and concise.If it helps to make the way of the home gardener more clear and definite, its purpose will have been accomplished." We really love reading this book and we're sure you will too. Written in 1911, it is still relevant today while being of historical interest. Above is the very quaint cover.
