One Magic Square: The Easy, Organic Way to Grow Your Own Food on a 3-Foot Square

Love, Love, Love this incredibly helpful gardening book!

I just adore this book! I bought six new gardening books to add to my existing library, because the garden and weather conditions up here in "the bush" are just so different from the lush Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, that my green thumb had disappeared, and I hoped to get some information on how I could stay an organic gardener in all conditions, with better crop success.

It is step by step instructions for planting everything - including combo veg/herb beds in 1 meter/3ft plots, it is also has an a-z plant reference, it features seasonal planting maps and plans, it has tips for composting, crop rotation planting cycles, natural bug & disease remedy/prevention, everything you didn't know about no-fuss composting and tons and tons of brilliant ways to recycle everything you throw away - to use in the garden instead!!!

For my new vege patches I have planted two different combos of "salad squares" and one "Pasta/Pizza plot" and they will be growing crops rotated for each season of the year to be productive all year round, and have used all the ideas for safely planting fruit trees, and for reviving and protecting my existing garden plants and trees. Manures of all kinds now rule in my garden - lol! I'm even about to create a super simple worm farm behind the shed to breed even more of my lovely worms from a recycled laundry trough, and have two compost heaps on the go... and the idea for creating a cheap 'turning compost' bin system with the laundry baskets is a gem. Cannot recommend this book highly enough - it will keep you fascinated for years to come, and even the most experienced gardener will find helpful new tips and...
