Going organic is not as difficult as I thought it would be, but admittedly, it was a little more expensive than getting the pesticide-laden variety. The idea of growing my own veggies, herbs, and fruits has always been nagging me, but I have not really acted on it. That is until I got hold of Organic Gardening by James Givens.Everything I needed to know to start my own mini garden at home is in this book, I kid you not. From the plot size to garden tools to the types of soil and compost to use, it’s all in here. There are several options given so you’re not pressured into doing something beyond your means. I particularly like the option of planting herbs in small pots and just place them on the window sill. It’s perfect for when I need them in cooking. The tips and tricks come in handy, especially when it comes to the type of compost to use.The book provides instructions to guide you every step of the way. It just takes away all the guesswork in organic gardening. What’s more, there is a list of veggies, herbs, and fruits and the time it takes for them to grow and in what season. This is very useful if you are considering planting several varieties.This book is perfect for people switching to a healthier diet of organic food and at the same time getting on with sustainable gardening.
