Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to grow healthy vegetables at home, but have hesitated because it seems too hard and time consuming, Organic Gardening for Everyone is your perfect hands-on guide—an “if I can do it, you can do it” case study that addresses your concerns and gets you started. Loaded with practical advice and step-by-step guidance, Organic Gardening for Everyone takes a very personal and friendly approach to a subject that can be intimidating. It is a first-class primer on organic vegetable gardening, and an inspirational story about how anyone can balance the rigors of gardening with the demands of a modern, family-oriented lifestyle. In 2012, a California mom decided to start an organic vegetable garden. But she went about it in an unusual way: she crowdsourced it by launching a YouTube channel under the name "CaliKim" and asking for help. And then she started planting. As questions came up, she turned to her viewers and subscribers and they replied with answers and advice. As she learned, her garden grew successfully—even in the hot, harsh California climate. Her expertise also grew, and now she answers many more questions than she asks and has become a very accomplished home gardener. And CaliKim has a great story to tell: growing healthy organic vegetables for your family is not difficult, even for today’s time-challenged lifestyles. She provides complete step-by-step information on growing the most popular edibles organically, and also gives sound advice on how to take on the challenges of balancing a hectic lifestyle with successful growing—and how to involve the whole family in the process. You'll be rewarded for your effort every time you place a plate of natural, organic vegetables on the family dinner table knowing exactly what they are, what is in them, and where they came from.

Download or read book Container Gardening written by James Water and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you interested in Gardening but you don't have enough space in your backyard? Well, keep reading because this book will help you with your problem... One of the most appealing characteristics of container gardens is the low physical labor involved. For these condensed gardens, weeding is a lost art. There's no turning of the soil or extreme heavy lifting required. In containers, plants are protected and have fewer diseases. Organic container gardening is an activity everyone, no matter their age can enjoy. Practically any veggie, herb, or fruit that can be grown in the ground can be grown in a container, and some plants produce better when contained. Growing food organically in containers is not tricky, and container gardening is perfect for limited spaces, balconies, decks, cement patios, and other small areas. A fantastic amount of food can be grown in containers filled with organic planting mix, watered consistently, and placed in a location with at least six hours of sun. City dwellers can grow a window box of herbs, salad greens in hanging baskets, strawberries in planter railings, peas on trellises in planter boxes, or a container garden of veggies on the roof. The containers used can be conservative or so creative: the garden feels like a wonderland! This book covers the following topics: Planning your garden Soil Planting Growing and harvesting Choosing the best plants for your garden Plants profile -> list of plants Type of plants: vegetables, aromatics herbs, fruit plants and tips considering the seasons Herbs you can grow at home Planning your container garden Choose your container sizes Outdoor urban gardens ... and much more! Container gardening and agriculture are a growing trend in recent years. Farmers and scientists work together to identify productive systems that sustain the health of soils, ecosystems and people without using poisons. More and more, we are striving to be kinder to the planet and our bodies by not using toxic chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the soil or spraying pesticides on the food. As home gardeners with limited space, we want to grow our plants in a chemically-free manner, using natural predators to control pests, earthworms to aerate the soil, ladybugs to feed on aphids and compost to enrich the soil. Organic soil that is alive with microorganisms grows and produces so delicious and nutritious that everyone can appreciate the results! The benefits of organic food include, but are not limited to, the increase of essential vitamins and nutrients that the body uses in defense against cancer and other diseases, along with the revivification of immune systems damaged by the intake of harmful chemicals and artificial growth hormones. Organic gardeners and their families save money on food bills and doctor visits. Everyone knows the secret to good health is eating a rainbow of fresh organic veggies and fruits... An organic container gardener knows where the food comes from, how it was grown, and eats the freshest, best-tasting, bursting-with-life-veggies, herbs, and fruits! Would You Like To Know More?
