Self-Help
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!
