Are you tired of throwing away time, energy, and money on a perfectly
manicured, water-guzzling, weed-producing lawn? Are you longing to
feed your family in more healthful and eco-friendly ways but shocked by
organic produce prices at the grocery store? Do you fantasize about
growing your own food but hesitate to take on more than you can manage?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's time for you to get
down and dirty-and take the plunge that will please your taste buds and
your pocket-book!
In Small-Plot, High-Yield Gardening, Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan
will help you turn your sprawling suburban acreage or postage
stamp-sized plot into a low-impact, all-organic, totally sustainable
produce garden. You'll learn about the most effective natural
fertilizers, drought-resistant cultivation methods, pest-repellent
companion plantings, trends in heirloom herb and vegetable varieties,
and raised-bed techniques for achieving maximum productivity in a
limited space. You can even add a cutting garden so you'll always have
fresh flowers on a kitchen table that's groaning under the weight of
incomparably fresh vegetables seasoned with a variety of home-grown
herbs.
Whether you're filling a 10' x 10' sandbox or digging up your
3,000-square-foot tennis court, any yard has the potential to produce a
multi-crop bonanza. And anyone with a little soil and a lot of heart can
do it!
