Organic Gardening Books

Like buying green, organic gardening has been everywhere this year, and I’ve been sent three new books on the topic in the last few months.
“Grow Organic: Over 250 Tips and Ideas for Growing Flowers, Veggies, Lawns and More” by Doug Oster and Jessica Walliser (St. Lynn’s Press, $18.95) is by no means the flashiest, but it looks like the one with the best information.
“The Organic Gardening Bible: Successful Gardening the Natural Way” by Bob Flowerdew (don’t you love it when authors’ names match the title topic?) (Taylor Trade, $24.95) also looks good. Very comprehensive.
“Newspaper, Pennies, Cardboard & Eggs for Growing a Better Garden” by Roger Yepsen and the editors of “Organic Gardening.” Great title and looks like a good book. It offers more than 400 projects, and luckily there’s a good index to help you find all the stuff that’s scattered through the book. Looks like a fast read, too – lots of graphics.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
I’m always into discussions on anything organic, so this read made me feel at home.
