Great Growing<br />
At Home<br />
The Essential Guide to Gardening Basics<br />
Allan A. Swenson<br />
In this book readers will discover how to grow the tastiest<br />
vegetables and most glorious flowers, improve their landscape<br />
to boost their property values, and have gardens that<br />
are the envy of their neighbors. The book is an easy-to-follow<br />
compilation of gardening know-how by a nationally-recognized<br />
and acclaimed garden writer. Top arborists, horticulturalists,<br />
plant breeders and other experts shared their<br />
knowledge and advice, which Swenson has assembled in this<br />
fact-filled book.<br />
Great Growing at Home will answer all your gardening<br />
questions on such disparate subjects as container gardening<br />
and field layering, pruning and raised beds, compost bins<br />
and crop rotation, to name just a few. Written with a bias<br />
toward organic gardening as a result of his studies at the<br />
famous Rodale Farm in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Swenson presents<br />
natural, organic gardening as a practical, productive<br />
and wholesome approach to producing an abundant, nourishing,<br />
and flavorful food supply. The book not only reflects<br />
his 40+ years as a garden writer, but also the first time he has<br />
been able to assemble his accumulated knowledge of gardening<br />
in one convenient place, including the latest information<br />
on new vegetable hybrids that resist disease and<br />
repel insects. Whether it’s how to attract birds and butterflies<br />
to your garden or planting on slopes, Great Growing at Home<br />
will be your indispensable source of all you need to know<br />
about gardening.<br />
