Biodynamic gardening is a natural system that marries organic gardening with a method of planting in sync with the rhythms of the earth. The result is healthful fruits and vegetables grown in a natural, self-sustaining environment. In their book, If You Like My Apples, authors Clue Dennis and Luke Miller have created a concise easy-to-understand guide to using this earth-friendly system. The authors first explain the theories of biodynamic gardening, and then provide you with a simple, practical approach to establishing your own thriving garden. Throughout, clear illustrations clarify concepts and techniques, help you identify essential tools, and guide you in applying the earth-friendly theories of biodynamics to your own particular conditions and needs.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Biodynamics is a theory of agriculture that emphasizes the natural relationships between plants and between plants and the soil and other natural elements. The aim of biodynamic gardening is to grow healthful produce in a natural, self-sustaining environment, rather than producing spectacular yields. After explaining the theory and basics of this gardening, Dennis and Miller discuss planning a garden, soil biology, companion planting (the arrangement of crops to keep away insects and otherwise improve the health of plants), natural pest control, organic and natural fertilizers, and composting and mulching. There are chapters on useful garden tools, beneficial weeds and wild plants, biodynamic lawn care, and managing fields and woodlots. There are also helpful line drawings and charts. George Cohen

This book is not about biodynamic gardening!!!,
By Lynnaea (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If You Like My Apples: A Simple Guide to Biodynamic Gardening (Mass Market Paperback)
Having used organic gardening methods for years, I became interested in Rudulf Steiner's BIODYNAMIC farming and gardening methods. I hoped that was the subject of this book. I was very disappointed. Nowhere does it mentions Steiner's methods. It is a good book for beginning ORGANIC gardeners, covering composting, natural pest control, etc.
