My review
The organic
grow book is a most beautiful with numerous pictures. It is perfect in size and is well-bound, which is extremely
important since this book is going to be read regularly and used in order to
improve our growing methods. Personally, I am keeping it in my second home
(where I am lucky to have a 5000-square-meter land) and I have already
referred to it several times.
It is translated in different languages: mine is in English (and I also own the French comics version which is amazing too) illustrated by French Pic Lelièvre and Olivier Verbrugghe.
The contents are extensive (600 pages) and easy to understand. It is highly practical and shares all the traditional secrets of gardening indoors and outdoors with us, but also innovative tips and new organic gardening techniques. It is a must-have if you are interested in organic gardening and nature.
I particularly enjoyed the chapters about organic nutrients, plant diseases and other challenges, organic methods for growing outdoors.
In short, I highly recommend this amazing book!
