Small-Plot, High-Yield Gardening: How to Grow Like a Pro, Save Money, and Eat Well by Turning Your Back (or Front or Side) Yard Into An Organic Produce Garden

Are you tired of throwing away time, energy, and money on a perfectly manicured, water-guzzling, weed-producing lawn? Are you longing to feed your family in more healthful and eco-friendly ways but shocked by organic produce prices at the grocery store? Do you fantasize about growing your own food but hesitate to take on more than you can manage?
Â
If you answered yes to any of these questions, itâ‚¬s time for you to get down and dirtyâ‚¬"and take the plunge that will please your taste buds and your pocket-book! In Small-Plot, High-Yield Gardening, Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan will help you turn your sprawling suburban acreage or postage stampâ‚¬â€œsized plot into a low-impact, all-organic, totally sustainable produce garden.
Â
Youâ‚¬ll learn about the most effective natural fertilizers, drought-resistant cultivation methods, pest-repellent companion plantings, trends in heirloom herb and vegetable varieties, and raised-bed techniques for achieving maximum productivity in a limited space. You can even add a cutting garden so youâ‚¬ll always have fresh flowers on a kitchen table thatâ‚¬s groaning under the weight of incomparably fresh vegetables seasoned with a variety of home-grown herbs.
Â
Whether youâ‚¬re filling a 10â‚¬ x 10â‚¬ sandbox or digging up your 3,000-square-foot tennis court, any yard has the potential to produce a multi-crop bonanza. And anyone with a little soil and a lot of heart can do it!
