Book Description

0801972892 978-0801972898 October 1982
Bio-gardening combines the resources of science and nature to produce yield after yield of safe, abundant and nutritious crops. Noted agriculturist Lee Fryer tells the home gardener how to build perpetual soil fertility by: providing a comfrotable home for the organisms that extract vital nutrients from the soil and supply them to the plants; growing fertilizer right in the garden by encouraging the mechanisms that capture nitrogen from the air; analyzing specific soil needs, then mixing and applying a well-balanced diet; borrowing the best, most productive organic farming and agribusiness methods; controlling pests with healthy plants - not with pesticides. The book includes an A-to-Z vegetable growing guide and special tips for getting the most out of patio and mini-gardens.
