Gardening Without Irrigation: or without much, anyway

indypublish.com, 2007

A related problem many backyard gardeners have with establishing the winter and overwintered garden is finding enough space for both the summer and winter crops. The nursery bed solves both these problems. Instead of trying to irrigate the entire area that will eventually be occupied by a winter or overwintered crop at maturity, the seedlings are first grown in irrigated nurseries for transplanting in autumn after the rains come back. Were I ...

Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

Steve Solomon

New Society Publishers, 2006

Author is a straight talker
I have read far and wide on the subject and this book is a premier choice. The author is detailed enough without being overly academic. He takes quite controversial and revealing positions on heirlooms vs. hybrids, seed saving, buying seedlings, starting seeds, seed company tactics, plant spacing, intensive garening, fertilization and how much space, time and effort you really need to either ...

How and When to Be Your Own Doctor
Dr. Isabelle A. Moser with Steve Solomon

IndyPublish, 2005

The most effective medicine in my arsenal is water fasting followed closely in potency by other, less rigorous detoxifying diets. Colon cleansing ranks next in healing power. In fact it is difficult to separate colon cleansing from fasting because detoxification programs should always be accompanied by colon cleansing. Further down the scale of efficatiousness comes dietary reform to eliminate allergic reactions and to present the body with ...

A book that will be referenced over and over again
The first time I read this book, I glazed over the section on soils (too involved - I originally thought). The rest of the book was far more interesting since I was more concerned about the best watering techniques, laying out the garden, organic methods, specific instructions for different crops, etc. Since then I've read the soils section at least a half dozen times and am astounded at how ...

Organic Gardener's Composting

Hard Press, 2006

Composting - The Bible
Steve Solomon's work in producing the Organic Gardener's Composting is second to none. His research standards are those of a true academic, yet his writing and general presentation of the material is accessible, non formulaic and for a book of this nature, subtly novelesque. I headed straight for the chapter on Sir Albert Howard's composting methods at Indore in the 1930's and wasn't disappointed ...

Bubbie & Zeide's Favorite Language: A Comedic Short Course in the Yiddish Alphabet: Book and CD
Steve Solomon

The Karis Company, Inc., 2003

The CD contains a book to follow along with as Steve reads each letter of the alphabet in his hysterical Bubbie & Zeide character voices. Things become more chaotic as the listener moves toward the dreaded "Weez and Vobelouz" (Vs & Ws). As a special treat, this CD includes 35 minutes of excerpts from Steve's one man show: "The Man, The Music, The Mishugginah"; truly one of the funniest comedy CD's you'll ever own.

The Reckoning Heart : An Anthropologist Looks at Her Worlds
Manisha Roy

New Falcon Publications, 2001

What exactly is the tenuous connection between an individual and culture? When does a cultural tradition cease to offer security to its members and instead becomes so confining that one must protest or rebel to survive as an individual? These issues, which had often undercut the author's well-intentioned research plans, compelled her to pay attention to the subjective aspect of research as much as the objective ones. This was the beginning of an ...
