Book Will Bonsall s Essential Guide to Radical  Self Reliant Gardening

Download or read book Will Bonsall s Essential Guide to Radical Self Reliant Gardening written by Will Bonsall and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Society does not generally expect its farmers to be visionaries." Perhaps not, but longtime Maine farmer and homesteader Will Bonsall does possess a unique clarity of vision that extends all the way from the finer points of soil fertility and seed saving to exploring how we can transform civilization and make our world a better, more resilient place. In Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening, Bonsall maintains that to achieve real wealth we first need to understand the economy of the land, to realize that things that might make sense economically don't always make sense ecologically, and vice versa. The marketplace distorts our values, and our modern dependence on petroleum in particular presents a serious barrier to creating a truly sustainable agriculture. For him the solution is, first and foremost, greater self-reliance, especially in the areas of food and energy. By avoiding any off-farm inputs (fertilizers, minerals, and animal manures), Bonsall has learned how to practice a purely veganic, or plant-based, agriculture--not from a strictly moralistic or philosophical perspective, but because it makes good business sense: spend less instead of making more. What this means in practical terms is that Bonsall draws upon the fertility of on-farm plant materials: compost, green manures, perennial grasses, and forest products like leaves and ramial wood chips. And he grows and harvests a diversity of crops from both cultivated and perennial plants: vegetables, grains, pulses, oilseeds, fruits and nuts--even uncommon but useful permaculture plants like groundnut (Apios). In a friendly, almost conversational way, Bonsall imparts a wealth of knowledge drawn from his more than forty years of farming experience. "My goal," he writes, "is not to feed the world, but to feed myself and let others feed themselves. If we all did that, it might be a good beginning."

Download or read book The Resilient Gardener written by Carol Deppe and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientist/gardener Carol Deppe combines her passion for organic gardening with newly emerging scientific information from many fields — resilience science, climatology, climate change, ecology, anthropology, paleontology, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, health, and medicine. In the last half of The Resilient Gardener, Deppe extends and illustrates these principles with detailed information about growing and using five key crops: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs. In this book you’ll learn how to: •Garden in an era of unpredictable weather and climate change •Grow, store, and use more of your own staple crops •Garden efficiently and comfortably (even if you have a bad back) •Grow, store, and cook different varieties of potatoes and save your own potato seed •Grow the right varieties of corn to make your own gourmet-quality fast-cooking polenta, cornbread, parched corn, corn cakes, pancakes and even savory corn gravy •Make whole-grain, corn-based breads and cakes using the author’s original gluten-free recipes involving no other grains, artificial binders, or dairy products •Grow and use popbeans and other grain legumes •Grow, store, and use summer, winter, and drying squash •Keep a home laying flock of ducks or chickens; integrate them with your gardening, and grow most of their feed. The Resilient Gardener is both a conceptual and a hands-on organic gardening book, and is suitable for vegetable gardeners at all levels of experience. Resilience here is broadly conceived and encompasses a full range of problems, from personal hard times such as injuries, family crises, financial problems, health problems, and special dietary needs (gluten intolerance, food allergies, carbohydrate sensitivity, and a need for weight control) to serious regional and global disasters and climate change. It is a supremely optimistic as well as realistic book about how resilient gardeners and their vegetable gardens can flourish even in challenging times and help their communities to survive and thrive through everything that comes their way — from tomorrow through the next thousand years. Organic gardening, vegetable gardening, self-sufficiency, subsistence gardening, gluten-free living.

Book The Self Sufficient Garden

Download or read book The Self Sufficient Garden written by Catherine Westwood and published by Vespertine Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I told you we would have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of vitamin C our grandparents received from just one orange? Fruit and vegetables are picked when slightly unripe, sprayed with chemicals, waxed, boxed, stacked on pallets and kept in a cold store for up to 12 months. So when you think you’re eating healthily and buying ‘fresh’ food, you are possibly buying fruit that was picked over a year ago. The longer produce is in storage the more its nutritional value deteriorates. Comparing the nutritional data of produce over the last 50 years shows a reliable decline in the amount of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamins and other micronutrients. Additionally, overseas shipping causes air pollution, affecting the health of humans, animals, and the environment. The recent pandemic showed us that in uncertain times, grocery stores may not have everything your family needs. But what if there was a way to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables right from your own backyard garden and lessen your dependence on corporations? And what if it was surprisingly achievable? The ability to use the Earth’s natural resources is indispensable. In The Self-Sufficient Garden, you’ll learn: - The process of planning a garden even if you don’t live in an ideal climate, don’t have enough space or have no money to spare - Different types of gardening, and their pros and cons, so you can determine what fits your lifestyle and needs - The importance of soil science and why healthier soil creates healthier people - The little-known basics of gardening, how to maximize your yields, extend your growing season and set up an irrigation system to benefit your garden and save you time - Organic pest control techniques to keep your plants safe and grow healthier crops - How to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs and trees and the process of crop rotation and remineralization to further help the environment - How to start your own seeds, conserve natural resources and make your own compost – all things that reduce your carbon footprint. Plus much more. Even if you’ve never made your hands dirty, don’t know how to hold a trowel or only have a balcony or a patio, you can still create an abundant garden and make a difference. You can grow your own food and start your self-sufficiency journey today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Row by row - maximize your harvest and feed your soil by developing a customized plan for your garden Everyone loves to prepare a meal with ingredients fresh from their own garden. But for most of us, no matter how plentiful our harvest, homegrown produce comprises only a fraction of what we eat.

Grow a Sustainable Diet will help you develop a comprehensive, customized garden plan to produce the maximum number of calories and nutrients from any available space. Avoid arriving in August buried under a mountain of kale or zucchini (and not much else) by making thoughtful choices at the planning stage, focusing on dietary staples and key nutrients. Learn how to calculate: Which food and cover crops are best for your specific requirements How many seeds and plants of each variety you should sow What and when to plant, harvest and replant for maximum yield. Focusing on permaculture principles, biointensive gardening methods, getting food to the table with minimum fossil fuel input, and growing crops that sustain both you and your soil, this complete guide is a must-read for anyone working toward food self-sufficiency for themselves or their family.

Do you find it a must to wash your veggies properly before eating them? Are pesticides in fruits and vegetables a constant thing on your mind while walking through the supermarket aisles? Do you spend time checking the labels before buying your greens to ensure you are making healthy choices? The problem is, labels are just labels at the end of the day. After consumer surveys revealed that the perception of healthfulness is a key driver of food choices, the food industry started doing everything to deliberately mislead customers with confusing labels. Have you ever fallen for catchwords such as "whole grain", "organic", "natural" and "no cholesterol"? But what's really inside? Fact is, you've been fooled more than once and there is only one way to avoid consuming the poisonous cocktail of pesticides in supermarket crops: Backyard Gardening. Imagine growing your favorite vegetables just a few meters away from your house, ready to be picked whenever you want.

Even if you are living in a 25m2 student apartment with a 4m2 balcony, it is easy to grow fruits and vegetables to suit outdoor areas of any size. Take the example of a tomato plant. A time investment of 6 minutes per week over 12 weeks is enough to grow, raise, and harvest produce from your own plant! Don't leave any stone unturned to make sure your kids and your family eat healthy, fresh foods every single day just because you are afraid of learning a new craft.

How do you grow plants without soil? You are in the right place....continue reading The secret of the hydroponic garden-and more generally of all hydroponic cultivation-lies in the use of water (or other types of alternative substrates to soil, such as perlite, sand, clay, etc.) in which the nutrients that plants normally find in traditional soil are dissolved. One of the advantages of the hydroponic garden is that it can be created anywhere, in any available area of the house, even in small, dimly lit spaces.

With this book in your hands, you'll learn how to choose the best plants to grow and maintenance techniques for healthy, vibrant-looking plants.
