Decades before the terms “eco-friendly” and “sustainable growing” entered
the vernacular, How to Grow More Vegetables demonstrated that
small-scale, high-yield, all-organic gardening methods could yield
bountiful crops over multiple growing cycles using minimal resources in a
suburban environment. The concept that John Jeavons and the team at
Ecology Action launched more than 40 years ago has been embraced by the
mainstream and continues to gather momentum. Today, How to Grow More
Vegetables, now in its fully revised and updated 8th edition, is the
go-to reference for food growers at every level: from home gardeners
dedicated to nurturing their backyard edibles in maximum harmony with
nature’s cycles, to small-scale commercial producers interested in
optimizing soil fertility and increasing plant productivity. Whether you
hope to harvest your first tomatoes next summer or are planning to grow
enough to feed your whole family in years to come, How to Grow More
Vegetables is your indispensable sustainable garden guide.
Based in Willits, California, John Jeavons is the director of Ecology Action, an environmental research and education organization. Jeavons has taken his grassroots solutions global, working with such organizations as UNICEF, Save the Children, and the Peace Corps to solve large-scale hunger by revolutionizing small-scale food production in more than 140 countries around the world.
