Author: Samuel R Ogden
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Rodale Press 1971

ISBN: 9780878570010
Size: 6 x 9 * 182 pages including index
Synopsis: From the jacket: Samuel Ogden has based Step-by- Step to Organic Vegetable Growing on 40 years of personal experience in growing vegetables. Starting with a plot of no particular merit, he nevertheless succeeded in turning it into a flourishing source of delicious vegetables. He succeeded so well, in fact, that some of the most demanding chefs and finest restaurants in Vermont come to him for produce.
Now, he explains how he grows his crops-without using synthetic fertilizers and poisonous pesticides. Here are just a few of the topics he discusses in his fact-filled book:
Soil. Ogden calls it the most important ingredient in a first-prize kitchen garden. He reveals a simple way to judge its quality. Then, he describes how to prepare it for planting, covering such subjects as rock removal, trenching, drainage, and organic feeding with manure and compost.
Plot. Where to put it, what size to make it, how to plan and arrange it- plus advice on crop rotation.
Tools. Ogden describes the tools you'll need-and lists a few you won't.
Pest Control. A rundown of the most common weeds and pests, with details on controlling them organically.
Informative as a gardening encyclopedia-informal as a chat over the back fence.
Beginners will find this book covers all the basics. And experts will discover many challenging, stimulating ideas from a highly successful organic gardener.
Eliminating all guesswork, Samuel Ogden spells out the methods he uses to grow two dozen different vegetables in his thriving organic garden near Landgrove, Vermont. He offers practical, useful answers for almost every organic problem. And he shows you in detail how to get the most out of Mother Nature.
With its step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, and orderly but relaxed presentation, Step-by-Step to Organic Vegetable Growing offers not only good advice but delightful reading as well.
