Description
Building Good Soil is one module from Elisabeth Fekonia’s revised book, Organic Gardening in Your Own Backyard and is based on Elisabeth’s TAFE accredited Horticulture course.
Get to know your garden soil. Have you ever noticed with gardens you may have had in past, one garden thrived while in another location, plants didn’t do as well? The reason for that is the wide variation of our soils.
This module will help you improve your soil for better yields with good compost and perhaps vermicast from a worm farm, and also by growing your own mulch and possibly using a mineral fertiliser and/or some compost teas we can make ourselves. Natural gardening need not cost much at all and there is a lot you can do to help yourself to good soil and abundant organic produce.
The other modules available separately are;
Permaculture Design and Different Types of Gardens
Seed Saving and Seedling Raising
Natural Pest & Weed Control
OR you can get ALL 4 for the reduced price of $19.99 by selecting the e-book ‘Organic Gardening in Your Own Backyard’ in the shop.
All the topics are fully explained in easy to understand layman’s terms and you will learn how to become more self-sufficient in these worrying times. On following these simple principles, you will be confident you will be able to feed your family now, and for years to come. You will also have the confidence of knowing where your food is coming from and won’t be so reliant on the current food supply chain or subject to it’s vagaries and incredible price rises in times of crisis.
