With more than 45,000 sold since 1989, The New Organic Grower has become a modern classic. In this newly revised and expanded edition, master grower Eliot Coleman continues to present the simplest and most sustainable ways of growing top-quality organic vegetables. Coleman updates practical information on marketing the harvest, on small-scale equipment, and on farming and gardening for the long-term health of the soil. The new book is thoroughly updated, and includes all-new chapters such as:

• Farm-Generated Fertilityhow to meet your soil-fertility needs from the resources of your own land, even if manure is not available.
• The Moveable Feasthow to construct home-garden and commercial-scale greenhouses that can be easily moved to benefit plants and avoid insect and disease build-up.
• The Winter Gardenhow to plant, harvest, and sell hardy salad crops all winter long from unheated or minimally heated greenhouses.
• Pestshow to find "plant-positive" rath

  Editorial : From Library Journal
  Coleman's personable work draws together the experience and wisdom of his 25 years as a vegetable gardener in Maine. It includes nearly all the material in the previous edition (LJ 11/1/89), communicating a respect and feeling for "the land" and its processes.

  Glickman was generally a man of considerable enthusiasms, and in this 1996 work his enjoyment and zeal for his life and career took considerable precedent over such things as logical order and structuring. Once into her early 20's, the book picks up steam and I found it fascinating. I always ask if they liked the movie "The Fast & the Furio
