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 />
