This month we are featuring 2 books to help you with your garden planning and to help you have a successful gardening experience this growing season. We are offering 20% off of these two titles: The Vegetable Gardener’s BIBLE by Edward C. Smith and The Essential Garden Design Workbook by Rosemary Alexander.
The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible, by Edward C. Smith is packed with color photos on almost every page and is broken down into three sections.
The first section, From Seed to Harvest, introduces the reader to Edward Smith’s, wide, deep, raised bed method, as well as a how-to on selecting seed catalogs, seeds, deciding what to plant, crop rotation, companion planting, seed starting, cold frames, greenhouses, row covers, watering guides and systems, mulching, fertilizing, planning your garden, growing and harvesting.
The second section, The Healthy Garden, focuses on soil health, composting, how to naturally deter detrimental insects and how to attract beneficial insects.
In the third section of the Vegetable Gardener’s Bible features the Plant Directory, with vegetables and herbs from Amaranth to Watermelon, as well as optimal soil pH, nutrients, sowing instructions, growing, fertilizing, mulching, weeding, harvesting, use and storage tips. He also lists his favorite early season and late season vegetable varieties.
The Vegetable Gardener’s BIBLE is one book that we would highly recommend for gardening success.
