How to Grow More Vegetables, Ninth Edition

The world's leading resource for biointensive, sustainable, and high-yield organic gardening has been extensively updated, with new sections on using 12 percent less water and enhancing composting power.

Long before it became a trend, How to Grow More Vegetables brought home ecosystems to life for the hobby gardener by demonstrating sustainable growing methods for spectacular organic produce on a small but intensive scale. How to Grow More Vegetables has become a reference for food producers at every level, whether for hobby gardeners dedicated to nurturing edible plants in their own gardens with minimal water and maximum harmony with the cycles of nature, or for small commercial producers interested in optimizing soil fertility and increasing plant productivity. In the ninth edition, author John Jeavons has revised and updated each chapter, including new sections on using less water and enhancing composting power.
