Book
The new organic grower : a master's manual of tools and techniques for the home and market gardener / Eliot Coleman ; photographs by Barbara Damrosch.
"Inspired by the European intensive growers, [this book] offers a very approachable and productive form of farming that has proven to work well for the earth and its stewards for centuries. Gardeners working on 2.5 acres or less will find this book especially useful, as it offers proof that small-scale market growers and serious home gardeners can live good lives close to the land and make a profit at the same time."-- Provided by publisher.
