Rodale's All New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening
Over 400 entries of the most practical, up-to-date gardening information ever, collected from garden experts and writers nationwide!"Gardens are places to renew yourself in mind and body, to reawaken to the truth and beauty of the natural world, and to feel the life force inside and around you. And the organic way to garden is safer, cheaper, and more satisfying. Organic gardeners have shown that it's possible to have pleasant and productive gardens in every part of this country without using toxic chemicals. They make their home grounds an island of purity."--Robert Rodale
This handy A-to-Z for home gardeners provides generously developed entries on gardening and growing topics--all from an organic perspective. Whether the subject is groundcover or folklore, each entry contains practical information that reflects deep knowledge that goes beyond the basics. The entry on soil is justifiably lengthy, as is the one for trees, and there is excellent information on irrigation, xersicaping, and greenhouse gardening. Illustrated with charts and tables, and with sidebars that focus in on interesting aspects of a larger topic, Rodale's encyclopedia is eminently readable--a book to return to again and again
