Book Description

*** #1 Amazon BESTSELLER in Vegetable Gardening ***

Here's the ultimate "Take-You-By-The-Hand" beginner's manual for creating and managing your own organic garden. Even if you know nothing about organic gardening.... so you can get back your health and energy and save a stack of money.

You're going to learn that organic gardening can greatly improve your health and energy levels while really lowering your weekly food bills, and it only takes about half an hour per week.

If you're like me you probably hate the idea of eating foods (and providing them for your family) that may have been grown with chemicals.

I want to share with you not only the joy of producing fresh, delicious food for your family, but also the health advantages.... spending time in the fresh air and sunshine, stress relief, and chemical free, vitamin filled, fresh, natural foods - what our bodies really crave for and need.

Now you can access the information you want quickly and easily, to make planning and growing your vegetable garden a breeze! Growing our own food makes us less reliant on commercially grown foods. Who knows how long produce might have been sitting around on a shelf, or in a cooler room? 

Do you wonder just what chemicals have been sprayed on that perfect-looking tomato, that really is quite tasteless? Being able to walk out to your organic vegetable garden and pick your own food - now let's see... how many food miles is that? - Oh, it's none!

You'll instantly discover...

• Your very best area to grow your vegetables
• How to build up healthy, fertile soil without costing a fortune
• How to feed your soil - the organic ways
• How to create an easy, 'no-dig' veggie plot
• Massive savings by learning how to grow from seeds

And that's just a small glimpse of what's included. This gardening guide was created to give you simple, concise steps to easily create the right organic food garden for your family. I've gathered this information from both my own experience and from many different resources over the past 20 years.

Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living....

Review

Praise for Organic Gardening Beginner's Manual:

"As a professional gardener of nearly 25 years, I have to say a few words about Julie's new book. It contains stacks of information for the professional and non-professional alike... I've learned a tremendous amount from her countless gems and insights... While Julie writes with professional authority, her books exude love and passion for growing healthy food..." (Jonathan Yaakobi, Dry Climate Gardening)

"Thank you so much for this book. My father used to have the most beautiful vegetable garden and he grew everything organically. This book has been a blessing to me; much of what is found in it follows the techniques my father used and some new insights as well.  My husband complimented me today on how amazed he was with what I had done. Much of the credit goes to what I learned from Julie's book." (Marjorie Morris - Oregon, USA)

"This should be called 'Organic Gardening in a Nutshell!" It has all the essential points in an easy to read format and encouraging, conversational writing style. The Sowing Chart for the Northern Hemisphere is getting printed out and put on the fridge for quick reference. You are the La Passionaria of the No Dig Veg Patch Brigade! Highly recommended!" (Bee Smith, Ireland)

This book is great! Easy to read, step by step instructions. It even tells you how to start your own compost, which is something I will definitely try now. I have gardened in the past but I never thought about the no dig method. I am going to give that a try too. I recommend this book to both beginners and those of us who think we know a thing or two about gardening! Two "Green" Thumbs Up!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Guide for Creating and Managing an Organic Garden May 26, 2012

For those of us who are concerned with the chemicals in the regular produce, going organic is the only option. Although organic produce is the healthier alternative, it can get very expensive. One of the best way to get around this is to create your own organic garden.

That is where this book comes in. It is extremely well laid out and covers all the basics that even the most inexperienced gardener can use to create and maintain an organic garden.

It covers topics such as finding the best area to grow the veggies, building healthy and fertile soil in a cost effective way, 9 tips to transplanting seeds, tips for watering the garden, how to make a compost, how to make fertilizer and much, much more..

The ebook has fully functional TOC and formatted perfectly for the kindle device thereby providing a pleasant reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An answer for all my questions and then some! May 26, 2012

Litteraly it did just that! This manual was easy to read and contained the appropriate information for any beginner setting up their first organic garden. I have only begun gardening seriously in the last 4 yrs and this manual will help me considerably. I want to do things the right way and I was just about to give up gardening totally when last year hardly anything produced. My tomatos didn't grow and the cukes died. The only things I got to grow was carrots and onions. And then some of the carrots were white and not orange. I am now inspired to give it another whirl and with living in a very rural area I can create a large compost area. Thank you from a WI Northern Star
