Book excerpt: Grocery Row Gardening An Exciting New Permaculture Gardening System Imagine creating a garden where apples and asparagus thrive beside beans and broccoli. Picture beautiful rows of trees, vegetables and flowers all growing together as butterflies, birds and bees dance overhead. Walk through with a basket and pick pears and blueberries, peppers and tomatoes, herbs and cut flowers - all from the same garden. With Grocery Row Gardening, you'll learn to harness the power of a forest's edge by linking the abundance of a food forest with a traditional vegetable garden. Grocery Row Gardening is a new permaculture gardening method that combines multiple different gardening systems into a resilient, pest-resistant, long-term food generating machine for your backyard. It combines ideas as diverse as Steve Solomon's writings on micronutrients with Geoff Lawton's food forest design, with Stefan Sobkowiak's permaculture orchard and Ernst Götsch's Syntropic Farming, with Ann Ralph's backyard orchard culture and edible hedges. It makes for a beautiful and powerful permaculture method that sails through weather extremes and creates a survival garden which will keep your family fed with a wide range of produce, month after month. Though this system is still in development, this book outlines how you can join in the fun and experimentation as Grocery Row Gardening takes off. Learn to think about growing food in a whole new way and create your most diverse and beautiful garden yet.

Download or read book Raised Row Gardening written by Jim & Mary Competti and published by Page Street Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easier and Cheaper to Set Up Than Raised Beds! For homeowners young and old looking for the easiest and most affordable way to grow the most vegetables, the Raised Row method shared in this breakthrough book is the new go-to choice. In the past decade, raised bed gardening has been wildly popular, but it requires buying wood or another material to build the raised beds, which quickly becomes expensive and labor intense. A raised row garden uses just soil and mulch, such as shredded leaves, to create raised growing rows and walking rows. This method is more budget-friendly, natural and just as effective to control weeds and see an impressive harvest your first year. Jim and Mary Competti, founders of the blog Old World Garden Farms, are the leaders of this gardening revolution. They’ve perfected and streamlined their method over several years. They spend only a few minutes per day maintaining a large garden that provides their family with food for the whole year. In this book, they share their secrets so anyone can do it too. Raised rows utilize straw mulch, compost and cover crops to enrich the soil you have and keep down weeds naturally. This way, no backbreaking overturning of the beds is required, as it is for traditional row gardening. Now, readers can work less and enjoy the fruits of their gardens more!

Download or read book The Lean Farm written by Ben Hartman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation To many people today, using the words "factory" and "farm" in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor. Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed on progressive farms around the world. Using examples from his own family's one-acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean practices in each step of their production chain, from starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees and selling goods. While the intended audience for this book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing local food movement, Hartman's prescriptions for high-value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power of lean in their production processes.
