A quick search on Amazon or any other book website, or even a browse at your local bookstore (yes some of us still venture out to real book stores!) will reveal a surprising number of books dedicated solely to organic gardening and organic farming.
As more and more people find out about the harm caused by modern day industrial farming, we are wanting to get back to the roots of food production. Therefore the rise in the number and quality of books on the topic is more than welcome.
The more you read, the more you learn. By putting into practice the ideas from one or more books, you are sure to become a better and more successful organic gardener and farmer.
Here is a pick of the very best books on the subject. I’ve had a hard time leaving any out, so this list is probably going to grow very long – in fact I’d like it to turn into an authoritative list of every book – both good and not so good – about organic gardening. I will also post notes, reviews and summaries based on my own opinion and those gathered from various comments around the web, so that your book buying decisions can be made somewhat easier.
