Description
With the cost of living rising, growing our own vegetables makes complete sense.
Leah Evans shows us how in this straightforward book. She begins with heaps of easy-to-understand advice on how to start gardening: growing in small spaces and containers, building great soil and compost, growing from seed, transplanting, companion planting, and much more.
There is detailed information on eleven easy-to-grow, nutritious kitchen-garden staples: beetroot, beans, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, herbs, pumpkin, leafy greens, potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes. It includes tips for pest and disease control, growing healthy crops, and harvesting. Plus, there are garden-to-kitchen home cooking ideas, basic preserving, inspiration for leftovers, and tasty, easy-to-make, hearty recipes.
Food security has become one of the most pressing issues today, and Hands in the Dirt teaches the basics that have been lost. It's the must-have book for every beginner gardener, everyone after some garden inspiration, and every home cook.
