Organic Gardening Books – The Ultimate Alternative Medium to Reading Books on Organic Gardening

Looking for some quality organic gardening books? You know what; I suggest you stop looking right away. Take it from me okay?

I’ve purchased 3 so-called “in depth” books on organic gardening. Those books were pretty informative yes, however, when it came to step-by-step application – those books failed miserably!

The tutorials in those books, especially the part about how to set up a vegetable garden at home, was not laid out in a beginner-friendly way. In fact, those organic gardening books made me even more confused than before!

Thankfully, there was a light at the end of the tunnel…

See, one day I was browsing through a gardening discussion site, and of one of the members suggested that I watch video tutorials on setting up an organic vegetable garden. “Ditch those confusing instructional organic gardening books”, that’s what he said…

Let me tell you, that was a top-class suggestion! Indeed, watching detailed video tutorials was so much better than referring those stuffy books.

Note: Video tutorials intro can be viewed by clicking this link.

They are the ultimate alternative medium to books! Now, don’t get me wrong…I absolutely love reading books, but when it comes to DIY matters, step-by-step video tutorials are king.

Thanks to the videos which I downloaded to my computer, I get to see in crystal clear detail about how to build and organic vegetable garden using a scientifically proven formula known as ecological gardening.

I bet most organic gardening books don’t even know about this little-known gardening technique. You see, I ‘m hopelessly in love with this gardening technique…

For one, it’s extremely easy to set up. Plus it helps my vegetable garden produce more organic food. Yes, that’s true…the ecological gardening process can actually produce many times more than a conventional vegetable garden.

This gardening process is set up using a specific edible planting arrangement. Look, let me put it this way…

If you set up your vegetable garden using the ecological gardening process, your garden will turn into a living, breathing ecosystem.

The result?

You’ll have an organic vegetable garden that’s very prolific, requires near zero maintenance (only a few hours per year), zero tillage and is completely self-perpetuating.

So I suggest you forget about finding quality organic gardening books and start watching video tutorials on how to set up a low maintenance yet prolific organic vegetable garden right from the comfort of your home.

Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an inert substance. Healthy soil is teeming with life — not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains healthy plants, and thus become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of artificial substances, many of them toxic to humans as well as other forms of life. But there is an alternative to this vicious circle: to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web — the complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interactions create a nurturing environment for plants. By eschewing jargon and overly technical language, the authors make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals.

Organic Gardening Books – The 6 Best Gardening Books For New Organic Gardeners

These organic gardening books are those that have had the most profound effect on me, and I have read a lot of gardening books. But these books are the best of the best, in my opinion.

Botany / Plants Book

The Secret Life of Plants. The authors of Secrets Of The Soil put out amazing organic gardening books and this classic is a look at the world of plants and their relationship to us. It goes into how plants can think, how they respond to music, and how they respond to being loved/being threatened, yet sprinkled throughout are many lessons we can actually use in the garden. Anyone who believes plants are sentient beings will love this book. A must read.

Microorganism Book

Teaming with Microbes. Healthy organic soil is teeming with life – not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. These guys make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from us organic gardening and farming addicts to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals. I highly recommend this as one of the organic gardening books for you.

Organic Soil Management Book

The Non-Toxic Farming Handbook. This book is not only for farmers! It is a successful integration of diverse techniques and technologies of classical organic farming, Albrecht-style soil fertility balancing, and Reams-method organic soil and plant testing and analysis, and it is great for organic home gardeners. It covers fertility inputs, in-the-field testing, foliar feeding, refractometers, tillage, livestock nutrition, moon cycles and subtle energies, and more.

Permaculture Book

Gaia’s Garden. This is one of my favorite organic gardening books for beginners. It describes an organic gardening system that combines the best features of wildlife habitat, edible landscapes, and conventional gardens into a self-renewing landscape that lets nature do most of the work. It has many good design principles, so it is partially a design book. This is my favorite introduction to permaculture because it is a fun read that really simplifies the topic. It’s not as comprehensive as Mollison’s works, but a great intro. I love this book.

Vegetable Gardening Book

The Gardener’s A-Z Guide to Growing Organic Food. This is one of those organic gardening books that shows you how to select, grow, harvest, and store more than 765 varieties of vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts. Not all that much info on growing from seed and transplanting, but a pretty darn big encyclopedia of food plants and good information on vegetable garden layout.

General Organic Gardening Book

Working With Nature – Shifting Paradigms. This organic gardening book was the first written by one of my gardening mentors, Heide Hermary, founder of Gaia College. It describes ecologically sound organic soil and water management practices and introduces the concept of landscape health management. It summarizes some of the most important information from other books listed on this page, and more importantly, it makes connections between seemingly disparate topics.
