The Tao of Vegetable Gardening
Author: Carol Deppe
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603584870
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The Tao of Vegetable Gardening explores the practical methods as well as the deeper essence of gardening. In her latest book, groundbreaking garden writer Carol Deppe (The Resilient Gardener, Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties) focuses on some of the most popular home garden vegetables--tomatoes, green beans, peas, and leafy greens--and through them illustrates the key principles and practices that gardeners need to know to successfully plant and grow just about any food crop. Deppe's work has long been inspired and informed by the philosophy and wisdom of Tao Te Ching, the 2,500-year-old work attributed to Chinese sage Lao Tzu and the most translated book in the world after the Bible. The Tao of Vegetable Gardening is organized into chapters that echo fundamental Taoist concepts: Balance, Flexibility, Honoring the Essential Nature (your own and that of your plants), Effortless Effort, Non-Doing, and even Non-Knowing. Yet the book also offers a wealth of specific and valuable garden advice on topics as diverse as: - The Eat-All Greens Garden, a labor- and space-efficient way to provide all the greens a family can eat, freeze, and dry--all on a tiny piece of land suitable for small-scale and urban gardeners. - The growing problem of late blight and the future of heirloom tomatoes--and what gardeners can do to avoid problems, and even create new resistant varieties. - Establishing a Do-It-Yourself Seed Bank, including information on preparing seeds for long-term storage and how to "dehybridize" hybrids. - Twenty-four good places to not plant a tree, and thirty-seven good reasons for not planting various vegetables. Designed for gardeners of all levels, from beginners to experienced growers, The Tao of Vegetable Gardening provides a unique frame of reference: a window to the world of nature, in the garden and in ourselves.

Pages : 244
Book Description
Working with Nature - Shifting Paradigms, brings together the science and research supporting an organic, holistic approach to horticulture. This book is a journey into the garden and the world as a whole in ways never likely seen or considered. The author has layed out many of the connections and processes at work when light, air, water, soil and life interact and transform the environment. When working in alignement with nature, many common problems never occur because one is not trying to go outside the natural laws that constrain us all. Instead of struggling to build and control a synthetic environment, one can now identify the existing environmental envelope and work with the natural forces to create and realize horticultural objectives. Once these relationships are seen, so many puzzles will disappear and many mysteries will now "just make sense."
