How to Grow Your Own Food: A guide for beginers
If you havent noticed yet, we here at A Happy Green Life like food, and we love it to be fresh from the garden. We have had fans in the past ask us where the best place is to start when you plan on making a garden. I asked myself this same question when we started our mini urban farm, and I turned to this months book How to Grow Your Own Food: A Guide for Beginers by John Clift and Amanda Cuthbert.
This great book will give you all the information you need to start your own garden, reagrdless of your location.
"Taking into account the limited space available to the urban gardener, Clift
and Cuthbert have produced a tome that's perfect for the inner city
horticulturalist. Growing fruit and vegetables is a big subject, and squeezing
even a small selection of plants into such a small volume is no easy task.
Happily the authors have done a good job of deciding what should go in, and what
really had to be left out. For complete novices, this book is a helpful,
unthreatening guide to their first few seasons as a gardener, whether they have
a balcony, bare concrete, a patio or a larger patch of ground. It's not for
committed gardeners but if you're looking for some measure of
self-sustainability and aren't quite sure how to go about it, How to Grow Your
Food: A Guide for Complete Beginners is an invaluable resource."

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI just came coincidently accross your blog and I like it a lot.
It is so nice to see that you share all your knowledge and ideas with people !
Personally I truly believe that the green movement is a neccesity and we need change in order to enter our future.
Currently I am reading this fantastic (half-fictional ) book based on today's forecasts and it is actually quite optimistic ( if more people accept today's truth of course... ).
