Organic Gardening For Beginner: A ManualOrganic gardening for beginner should be a resource to get you started with your own organic food gardening. I have searched for a book that would cover the basics and have enough information for you to achieve success your first season. 
Julie Villani authored Organic Food Gardening Beginner's Manual. She has managed to break down the whole process of organic gardening for beginner into simple steps. It's kind of like having a friend right there with you guiding you along the way. You will learn... - How to plan out your garden. - How to select a location. - How to create healthy fertile soil. - How to make your own compost and tell when your organic compost is ready to use. - How to make your own liquid fertilizer. - How to create natural sprays to reduce pests. - How to keep the weeds down. - Selecting and saving your own seeds. 
Although Julie presents the information for the beginner, even an experienced gardener would benefit from her tips and techniques. After all, organic gardening is traditional. It is passed down form generation to generation, from neighbor to neighbor. Learning how to grow vegetables and herbs without chemical pesticides and still have a thriving garden is best learned from someone who has done it.If you have really limited space, the section on container gardening is for you. What if you can't do a lot of bending or digging? Julie covers that in her 'no dig' garden section. I had a concern that I may not be able to get as much out of it as I had hoped because I do not have the same climate. Well, Julie covers that for us. She has a chart for growing in the northern hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere. Even breaking down into the type of climate you may have whether hot or cold. Be sure to use the 'garden calendar' and forms for your own notes (included in bonus gifts). Keeping track of what works is easier than trying to remember from season to season.
