This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The associations in this book have been tested by me over the past 15 years. Some have been accidental observations which I have followed up; others have been folklore I have tested. Several associations discovered through current research in Europe, the USA and New Zealand, I have observed in Australia as well. The last five years seem to have been mostly spent on counting insects and measuring new shoots. But I hope it is at least a basis for companion planting that works in Australia and New Zealand. Scientific names have been included only where one plant might otherwise be confused with another." -- Taken from the Introduction.

Book excerpt: Green Harvest explores the ideas and practices that have shaped organic farming and gardening in Australia from the interwar years to the present day. It reveals that Australian organic farming and gardening societies were amongst the first in the world, being active as early as the 1940s. In what way does human health depend upon the natural environment? Green Harvest traces this idea through four themes of Australian organic farming and gardening – soil, chemical free, ecological well-being and back to the land – each illustrated with a case study profiling an Australian organic farmer or gardener. Personalities in Australian organic gardening, such as Jackie French and Peter Bennett, talk about organic growing. The book also features extracts from early organic magazines and interviews with current organic growers, including banana and macadamia farmers, managers of outback sheep stations, dairy farmers and self-sufficiency gardeners. All of these tell the story of Australian organic farming and gardening: past, present and future.
