About this product
Product Information
Forest gardening is a novel way of growing edible crops - with nature doing most of the work for you. A forest garden is modelled on young natural woodland, with a wide range of crops grown in different vertical layers. Unlike in a conventional garden, there is little need for digging, weeding or pest control. Species are carefully chosen for their beneficial effects on each other, creating a healthy system that maintains its own fertility. Creating a Forest Garden tells you everything you need to know, whether you want to plant a small area in your back garden or develop a larger plot. It includes advice on planning, design (using permaculture principles), planting and maintenance, and a detailed directory of over 500 trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, annuals, root crops and climbers - almost all of them edible and many very unusual. As well as more familiar plants you can grow your own chokeberries, goji berries, yams, heartnuts, bamboo shoots and buffalo currants - while creating a beautiful space that has great environmental benefits. In the light of our changing climate it is important that we find new ways of growing food sustainably, without compromising soil health, food quality or biodiversity. Forest gardening offers an exciting solution to the challenge.Product Identifiers

One of the better books I have on this subject.
Nice thick hardcover book. Lots of diagrams, tables and pictures, pleasing layout. The book is well organized and ordered, which is especially important for a book you want to learn from. Includes lots on various subjects that you can select for your own needs or interests. In my case plants for wind breaks of particular interest due to heavy winds where I am. Gradually going through the book each day leaving my own pencil notes to lightly mark out parts of particular relevance or interest with small markers stuck to these pages to find them later.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
