Summary "The Good Garden is a fun and practical guide to making backyard gardening as beneficial as possible to the broader environment. While other books have been written about best organic practices, this book takes sustainable gardening to a new level. First, it shows how to avoid harm by using organic fertilizers and pest management techniques, practicing no-till/no-dig gardening, and keeping food waste out of landfills through composting. But it also guides gardeners to create a home for pollinators, wildlife, and native plants. And unlike most gardening books, it presents ways for readers to engage their communities through seed swaps and plant sharing"-- Provided by publisher.
