City Chicks: Keeping Micro-flocks of Chickens as Garden Helpers, Compost Makers, Bio-reyclers, and Local Food Producers; Patricia L. Foreman Good Earth Publications, Inc. 2009 0962464856 / 9780962464850 PERFECT PAPERBACK
New
0962464856 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 460 p. Audience: General/trade. local foods movement is mushrooming and chickens have become its mascot. City Chicks brings fresh, innovative and new information about keeping backyard flocks of urban chickens. City Chicks describes in detail how chicken s skill sets can be employed in a Hen-Have-More Plan for food production systems. Instead of using oil-based chemicals, chickens can help produce fertilizer and compost; they can turn yard waste into garden soil. Hens can also be used as mobile, clucking, (organic and non-toxic), pesticiders, herbiciders, and insecticiders. And chickens can be of civic service. One chicken eats about 7 pounds of food waste a month. A few hundred households keeping micro-flocks of laying hens can divert tons of yard and food biomass waste from trash collection saving municipalities millions, even billions of tax payer dollars. To quote City Chicks: What if a city had 2, 000 households with three hens (or more) each? That could translate to 252 tons of food waste diverted from landfills each year..Add to that number the tons of yard waste (grass clippings and leaves) that can hens can help convert into compost and the amount is as enormous as the tax-savings of NOT having to handle, transport and store all that biomass waste. (Page 20 to 21) This 460 page book has over 100 photos, sketches, and tables bringing visual clarity and simplicity to complex concepts. To see two examples click here: Chicken Skill Sets (page 18) and, Chickens in Recycling and Food Production Systems (page 19). City Chicks ushers in a new paradigm of how to use these versatile, clucking, feathered bi-peds in a variety of roles that help decrease carbon foot-prints, save tax payer dollars and support local food supply production. City Chicks shows how you can: * Have fresh, heart-healthy eggs, daily from your backyard home flock. * Employ your chicken s skill sets as garden workers, organic pesticiders, herbiciders, fertilizers, compost creators and top soil enhancers. * Take the best car.

Four Hedges. A Gardener's Chronicle; Clare Leighton The Macmillan Company B0006AN010 Hardcover
Very Good
B0006AN010 ~Very Good. No DJ. Hardcover. Light shelf wear to boards; satisfaction guaranteed. Four Hedges. A Gardener's Chronicle, NY: The Macmillan Co., 1935, 167pp. 88 delightful b/w plates reproduced from wood engravings by the author artist, Clare Leighton; introduction by John Taylor Arms. In 1930 Clare Leighton (1898-1989) bought a plot of land on a sloping site in "the Chilterns", a beautiful area in S E England. Here, she and her lifelong partner, Noel Brailsford, built a house and created a garden from the "rough meadowland". This book tells of a year in the life of that garden. This is a lovingly written, month-by-month chronicle of the seasonal changes, from the unfurling of the iris stylosa in the dead of winter, to the warmth of June when the garden belongs to the birds. A superb production that is as good a read as it is beautiful to look at. "This is the story of a garden, carved from meadowland deep in the Chiltern Hills. Clare Leighton was one of the finest engravers of the twentieth century. In the 1930s, when she settled in the twentieth century. In the 1930s, when she settled in the countryside with her long-term partner, the political journalist Henry Noel Brailsford, she turned her creativity to the land. Gardening became her passion. Her obsession. She planted daffodil bulbs, crocuses, and two new elms. She tended roses diligently but found equal pleasure in her flowering leeks. She gathered plums, loganberries, windfall apples and pears. By observing the seasonal changes in the garden, she grew familiar with its wildlife and character, forming a bond which fed her work as an artist and contributed to the happiest years of her life. In Four Hedges, Clare Leighton inhabits the shifting atmospheres of the garden, recording in prose and pictures her feelings for the life she nurtured. Composed in twelve monthly chapters, the elegance and boldness of her engravings is matched on every page by the tenderness of her writing."

New
1603580298 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 313 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. first edition of Gaia s Garden sparked the imagination of America s home gardeners, introducing permaculture s central message: Working with Nature, not against her, results in more beautiful, abundant, and forgiving gardens. This extensively revised and expanded second edition broadens the reach and depth of the permaculture approach for urban and suburban growers. Many people mistakenly think that ecological gardening which involves growing a wide range of edible and other useful plants can take place only on a large, multiacre scale. As Hemenway demonstrates, it s fun and easy to create a backyard ecosystem by assembling communities of plants that can work cooperatively and perform a variety of functions, including: * Building and maintaining soil fertility and structure * Catching and conserving water in the landscape * Providing habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and animals * Growing an edible forest that yields seasonal fruits, nuts, and other foods This revised and updated edition also features a new chapter on urban permaculture, designed especially for people in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing space. Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful. Best of all, once it s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of the backbreaking work that s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden.

Guerrilla Gardening: A Manualfesto; Tracey, David New Society Publishers 0865715831 / 9780865715837 PAPERBACK
New
0865715831 The term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world.These modern-day Johnny Appleseeds perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owner's prior knowledge or permission. Typical targets are vacant lots, railway land, underused public squares, and back alleys. The concept is simple, whimsical and has the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence -- one good deed inspiring another, with win-win results all around.Guerrilla Gardening outlines the power-to-the-people campaign for greening our cities. Tips for effective involvement include:finding plants and seeds cheap (or free; handling city officials; getting the dirt on soil; planting to bring back the birds; knowing when to ask permission and when to seek forgiveness.Social activists, city dwellers and long-time gardeners will delight in this fast-paced and funny call to arms.

Holy Shit: Managing Manure To Save Mankind; Logsdon, Gene Chelsea Green Publishing 1603582517 / 9781603582513 PAPERBACK
New
1603582517 In his insightful new book, Holy Shit, Managing Manure To Save Mankind, contrary farmer Gene Logsdon provides the inside story of manure?our greatest, yet most misunderstood, natural resource. He begins by lamenting a modern society that not only throws away both animal and human manure?worth billions of dollars in fertilizer value?but that spends a staggering amount of money to do so. This wastefulness makes even less sense as the supply of mined or chemically synthesized fertilizers dwindles and their cost skyrockets. In fact, he argues, if we do not learn how to turn our manures into fertilizer to keep food production in line with increasing population, our civilization, like so many that went before it, will inevitably decline. With his trademark humor, his years of experience writing about both farming and waste management, and his uncanny eye for the small but important details, Logsdon artfully describes how to manage farm manure, pet manure, and human manure to make fertilizer and humus. He covers the field, so to speak, discussing topics like: How to select the right pitchfork for the job and use it correctly, How to operate a small manure spreader, How to build a barn manure pack with farm animal manure, How to compost cat and dog waste ? How to recycle toilet water for irrigation purposes, and How to get rid of our irrational paranoia about feces and urine. Gene Logsdon does not mince words. This fresh, fascinating, and entertaining look at an earthy, but absolutely crucial, subject, is a small gem and is destined to become a classic of our agricultural literature.

There is a fantastic array of vegetables you can grow in your garden, and not all of them are annuals. In Perennial Vegetables the adventurous gardener will find information, tips, and sound advice on less common edibles that will make any garden a perpetual, lowmaintenance source of food. Imagine growing vegetables that require just about the same amount of care as the flowers in your perennial beds and borders--no annual tilling and planting. They thrive and produce abundant and nutritious crops throughout the season. It sounds too good to be true, but in Perennial Vegetables author and plant specialist Eric Toensmeier (Edible Forest Gardens) introduces gardeners to a world of little-known and wholly underappreciated plants. Ranging beyond the usual suspects (asparagus, rhubarb, and artichoke) to include such "minor" crops as ground cherry and ramps (both have found their way onto exclusive restaurant menus) and the much sought-after, antioxidant-rich wolfberry (also known as goji berries), Toensmeier explains how to raise, tend, harvest, and cook with plants that yield great crops and satisfaction. Perennial vegetables are perfect as part of an edible landscape plan or permaculture garden. Profiling more than a hundred species, with dozens of color photographs and illustrations, and filled with valuable growing tips, recipes, and resources, Perennial Vegetables is a groundbreaking and ground-healing book that will open the eyes of gardeners everywhere to the exciting world of edible perennials.

Permaculture Pioneers: Stories from the New Frontier; Holmgren 0975078623 / 9780975078624 PAPERBACK
New
0975078623 Permaculture is much more than organic gardening. Arguably it is one of Australia?s greatest intellectual exports, having helped people worldwide to design ecologically sustainable strategies for their homes, gardens, farms and communities. This book charts a history of the first three decades of permaculture, through the personal stories of Australian permaculturists. From permaculture co-originator David Holmgren, to ABC TV's Gardening Australia presenter Josh Byrne, the authors span the generations and the continent. These stories represent the scope, depth and diversity of permaculture in Australia and around the world. They explore some of the influences on those who have embraced it, record milestones and highlight recurring themes. The editors? contributions and afterword by social ecologist Professor Stuart B Hill frame the stories in terms of transformation of the inner landscape of our minds and hearts, as the critical starting point for the outer change that is needed. For those whose lives have been changed by permaculture, this book provides a context for articulating and celebrating their own stories and experiences. Even more, it invites each of us, permaculturists or not, to embrace our power in designing our world out of the best in ourselves, for the benefit of the whole earth community.

0646418440 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Sewn binding. 286 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. Unlike previous books by David Holmgren which have highlighted practical case studies in permaculture design, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability brings into sharper focus the powerful and still evolving Permaculture concept he pioneered with Bill Mollison in the 1970's. It draws together and integrates 25 years of thinking and teaching to show a whole new way of understanding and action behind a simple set of design principles. This book is relevant to every aspect of how we reorganise our lives, communities and landscapes to creatively adapt to ecological realities which shape human destiny. For students and teachers of permaculture this book provides something more fundamental and distilled than Mollison's encyclopedic Designers Manual. For the general reader this book provides refreshing perspectives on a range of environmental issues and shows how permaculture is much more than a system of gardening. For anyone seriously interested in understanding the foundations for sustainable design and culture, this book is essential reading. Although a book of ideas, the big picture is repeatedly grounded by reference to Holmgren's own patch, Melliodora and other practical examples. Essential reading for permaculture designers and accessible to a wide range of critical thinkers, this book opens the door to a new and scarcely imagined world. It contribute to a growing synthesis of design with economics, society, and landscape ecology, and compels all serious advocates of sustainability to reconsider the central organizing power of the permaculture concept. Peter Bane: Editor, Permaculture Activist USA.

Small-Scale Grain Raising, Second Edition: An Organic Guide to Growing, Processing, and Using Nutritious Whole Grains, for Home Gardeners and Local Farmers; Logsdon, Gene Chelsea Green Publishing 2009 1603580778 / 9781603580779 PAPERBACK
New
1603580778 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 320 p. Audience: General/trade. First published in 1977, this book from one of America s most famous and prolific agricultural writers became an almost instant classic among homestead gardeners and small farmers. Now fully updated and available once more, Small-Scale Grain Raising offers a entirely new generation of readers the best introduction to a wide range of both common and lesser-known specialty grains and related field crops, from corn, wheat, and rye to buckwheat, millet, rice, spelt, flax, and even beans and sunflowers. More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains and the products made from them have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans the base of our culinary food pyramid alongside their fruits and vegetables. Starting from the simple but revolutionary concept of the garden pancake patch, Logsdon opens up our eyes to a whole world of plants that we wrongly assume only the agricultural big boys can grow. He succinctly covers all the basics, from planting and dealing with pests, weeds, and diseases to harvesting, processing, storing, and using whole grains. There are even a few recipes sprinkled throughout, along with more than a little wit and wisdom. Never has there been a better time, or a more receptive audience, for this book. Localvores, serious home gardeners, CSA farmers, and whole-foods advocates in fact, all people who value fresh, high-quality foods will find a field full of information and ideas in this once and future classic.

Included is advice on making the garden pay for itself, or even to provide an income. author?s ultimate aim is to change the way we approach the garden so that it feeds, heals, and nurtures us. productive garden should be an integral part of the home, and growing food should be a part of everyday life.Book is oversized and will require additional shipping funds for priority or international customers.

The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming (New York Review Books Classics); Fukuoka, Masanobu NYRB Classics 2009 1590173139 / 9781590173138 PAPERBACK
New
1590173139 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! 184 p. Masanobu Fukuoka is one of the most radical and influential agrarian thinkers of this century. 'One Straw' describes the events that led to the development of Fukuoka's concept of 'natural farming'. In this book, he emphasises the basic principles of non-cultivation and non-chemical farming by the incorporation and controlled use of weeds rather than their eradication. Using these methods Fukuoka produces greater crops than achieved by chemically-based and modern farming practices. Year by year the soil becomes richer and more productive. This book should be compulsory reading for all who wish to bring about change, not only in agriculture, but also in how we view the entire process of food production. One Straw Revolution is not exclusively about farming. In fact, there are many pages in which Fukoka expands on philosophy, history, nutrition, intentional communities, and sustainibility. Call it Zen and the Art of Farming or a Little Green Book, Masanobu Fukuoka s manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture. Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature s own laws. Over the next three decades he perfected his so-called do-nothing technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort. Whether you re a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here you may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.

This is the big question facing the local food movement, and Eliot Coleman, one of America's most innovative farmers, has come up with excellent answers. Brimming with ingenuity, hope, and eminently practical advice, Winter Harvest Handbook is an indispensable contribution. Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food and Omnivore's Dilemma From the bestselling author of New Organic Grower and Four-Season Harvest, a revolutionary guide to year-round harvests of fresh, organic produce with little or no energy inputs. Choosing locally grown organic food is a sustainable living trend that s taken hold throughout North America.

He continues to lead the way, pushing the limits of the harvest season while working his world-renowned organic farm in Harborside, Maine. Now, with his long-awaited new book, Winter Harvest Handbook, anyone can have access to his hard-won experience.

We must thaw its cold with our genialness. We are asked to find out and appropriate all the nutrients it yields. If it is a cold and hard season, its fruit, no doubt, is the more concentrated and nutty. Henry David Thoreau Coleman offers clear, concise details on greenhouse construction and maintenance, planting schedules, crop management, harvesting practices, and even marketing.
