The New Organic Grower, 3rd Edition: A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener, 30th Anniversary Edition

This fully illustrated 30th anniversary edition of Eliot Coleman's landmark organic farming book includes new photographs and updated information for small-scale market growers and serious home gardeners. Coleman is recognized as a pioneer of the organic movement in the United States whose books and methods have helped organic farmers build successful farms. This edition includes new material: color photographs by Barbara Damrosch (master gardener and Coleman's wife and co-farmer), updated information on how Coleman's practices have evolved through 35 years of experimentation, a new section from Damrosch on incorporating flowers on small farms, and information on new tools Coleman has invented. Drawing on European intensive growing methods, the book presents an approachable and productive form of farming proven effective for centuries. It is designed for gardeners working on 2.5 acres or less, demonstrating that small-scale market growers and serious home gardeners can sustain good lives close to the land while making a profit. The book serves both beginning farmers and gardeners seeking to expand into more productive enterprises.
