Here is an essential reference book for all Australian gardeners who care about their family's health and the environment.
Organic gardening is the principle of leaving your patch of earth in a better condition than you found it by working with nature rather than against it. A practicable and better alternative to chemical-dependent and environmentally unsustainable cultivation practices, organic gardening minimises soil damage, and results in fewer contaminated waterways and poison-resistant pests, and more nutritious food.
Written for Australian gardeners by a certified organic farmer and gardener, Easy Organic Gardening and Moon Planting is an indispensable reference to organic cultivation methods, combined with a moon-planting guide, to help gardeners to work with the cycles of nature.
An easy-to-follow moon-planting routine for all aspects of gardening, with a listing of the best planting, harvesting, and pruning days from 2006 to 2013, is provided. Included are chapters on: bull; how you can revitalise garden soil and keep it healthy bull; composting and worm-farming techniques that will transform garden and kitchen waste into top quality, organic fertilizer bull; how to protect your garden from climate change and save water bull; a month-by-month diary of what to plant when for all climate zones of Australia bull; raising healthier, pest- and disease-resistant seedlings, shrubs and trees bull; growing your own fruit and vegetables in garden beds or pots bull; a comprehensive listing of Australian native plants safe alternatives to using poisons in your garden.
For new and experienced gardeners alike, Easy Organic Gardening and Moon Planting will make your whole garden more vigorous, and a healthier haven for your family, pets and native fauna.
