Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long37 reviews
Eliot Coleman, Barbara Damrosch

Chelsea Green, 1999

How to love your garden (and your food)
I've read a lot of items published by our local state university, but too much was about how and when to apply which chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides. Eliot Coleman's focus on healthy soil and healthy plants is so much But better than the focus on getting rid of stuff you don't want, and is a perspective that works well if applied to many areas of our lives. Since I have ... 		  
  







  
  
Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables23 reviews
Mike Bubel, Nancy Bubel

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1991

I'm inspired
Well researched and considered. Thorough, yet practical and attainable. I appreciated learning about all the different types of root cellars and how to build them. Previous to reading this book, a root cellar to me was and expensive underground project with stairs and cement walls and electricity. Until I can afford that we can inexpensively create/build/dig the other options.

Edward C. Smith

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2000

Practical and helpful
I borrowed this book from our library a couple times this winter as I was making plans for this summer's garden. Then Spring hit and I needed it again, so I purchased it as I know it is a book that I will refer to again and again. And I have used it extensively already. It lays out all you need to know to garden using raised beds including bed preparation, soil amending, composting, watering, ...

Da Capo Press, 2007

RABID CARNIVORES ADORE IT!
I made an extremely vegan recipe from this book for a friend who's a rabid carnivore, and i didn't get a luke-warm "umm, that's tasty", I got an "OH my GODDD, that's FANTASTIC!" So, newbee vegans, fear not. You can not only please yourself with this innovative, fun and complete book, you can dazzle your carnivorous friends, too. And old-bee vegans, i trust there are some oh-so-fab recipes here ...

Eat your way to saving the earth
I have loved Barbara Kingsolver as an author of fiction, now as someone who has inspired me to change the way I buy food and feed my family.

Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)19 reviews
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 ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 1996

Fun and insipring recipes!
I really love this cookbook, and have given it to a number of my clients (I'm a nutrition counselor). It's got a wide variety of recipes, and I find it very helpful that they're organized by individual variety of green. My very favorite is the Sesame Creamed Dandelion Greens.

Steve Meyerowitz, Beth Robbins, ...

Book Pub Co, 1999

Awesome Resource for Support!
This is tne most informative, well put together publication on Juice Fasting I've yet to see. It was a tremendous help to me on my most recent fast which lasted 12 days! I would recommend this thumbs up for anyone considering either a long term or a short term juice fast. Filled with all sorts of useful information on various situations one comes across while fasting. I've even stocked a bunch ...

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone174 reviews
Deborah Madison

Broadway, 2007

Great book.....Clarifying some of the negative reviews
Since this is a classic you will find all kinds of great reviews. I have no loyalty to Deborah Madison. But I do think this is a wonderful book and some of the negatives are just strange or wrong. If you are considering this purchase, take it out of the library or look at it in a store. This is really worth having on the shelf and for many reasons. A One star reviewer says that on page ...

Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners24 reviews
Suzanne Ashworth, Kent Whealy

Seed Savers Exchange, 2002

Seed to Seed
This is perhaps the best book on the subject of raising heirloom plants and then harvesting the seed. It explains in detail procedures for timing, protecting from undesirable cross pollination, and harvesting seed. I would recommend to the author that at the end of every plant type (genus) that a summary chart that is easy to identify be placed. Large plant groups like beans, for instance, had ... 		  
  







  
  
The Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook: A Home Manual23 reviews
James Green

Crossing Press, 2000

Excellent for both the beginner and experienced
I bought this book as soon as it came out. If you are herbally minded, it is formost simply a good read. But it is also a wonderful handbook and explains things in a subtly spiritual way that inspires care for your tinctures and other items you make. While I now have much more experience and use this book less frequently and rely on the "just the facts, m'am" condensed recipe books, I still ...

Rose Marie Nichols McGee, Maggie Stuckey

Workman Publishing Company, 2002

Very informative and well organized
I really enjoyed this book. I like how it's organized so that if you decide you want to plant tomatoes, you can go to the section on tomatoes. They go over containers, soil, everything you need to know. This is just what I was looking for. Can't wait to get started.
