It would be tempting to think that organic gardening requires unlimited free time or perhaps a degree in horticulture, but Mark Highland introduces organic methods, products, and practices that are accessible to any home gardener looking to make the transition. Beginning with an astonishing look at the science that makes organic gardening possible and the history that it draws upon, Highland lays out what you need for a plot of veggies, a container garden, or even just a better lawn. Color photos appear throughout, and individual chapters are devoted to cultivation, fertilizer, propagation, sustainability, and fighting pests using natural methods.
