Growing Green: Organic Techniques for a Sustainable Future

"Growing Green: Organic Techniques for a Sustainable Future by Jenny Hall and Iain Tolhurst is a guide for those who want to learn about stock-free organic gardening techniques. It is just the thing for absolute beginners or professional growers who want to grow for vegans. Stock-free organic gardening means you use no animal by-products or manures. The book shows you how to become self-sufficient and have healthy crops with fewer weeds, pest or diseases. Until this book, there has never been a comprehensive guide to give organic growing standards for different scales of vegetable production – from large farms that use tractors or small machinery to small gardeners, who just want to be self-sustaining and use hand tools. Growing Green is ideal for researchers and students as well, since it is a first-of-its-kind in organic growing. It covers these topics: Tools and machinery needed Managing green manures Making seed compost Rotation for year-round supply"
