The more organic veggies you eat, the healthier you are... right? Steve Solomon found out the hard way that it's not so simple.
Growing truly nutrient-dense vegetables - the kind that keep your bones strong, energy soaring and neighbours asking: why do your carrots taste so sweet? - takes knowledge and intention, not to mention breaking a few golden rules of organic gardening.
This beloved guide is the result of 50 years of research and experimentation by master gardener Steve Solomon, written for cool-climate growers. From soil science to plant spacing, pest management to the fine art of hoe leaning, Steve will show you how to grow and harvest nutritional abundance year round.
- Learn why nutrient dense food matters, and why even local organic veggies probably aren't delivering the nutrition your body needs.
- Dig into smart gardening techniques to maximise yields while minimising time spent weeding, thinning and shovelling.
- Learn how to defeat, evade or avoid insect pests altogether without poisons.
- Discover the best vegetable varieties for cool-temperate conditions, and how to save and store seeds at home.
- Understand the ins and outs of soil remineralisation and how to make a Complete Organic Fertiliser tailored to cool-temperate soils.
- Start growing food year round without a polytunnel, including winter harvests and heat-lovers like melon and eggplant.
- Increase drought resilience with tried-and-tested methods of raising vegetables with little or no irrigation.
- Includes a comprehensive how-to-grow-it guide with over 60 vegetables which thrive in cool-climate gardens.
Written for the world's great cool-temperate growing regions - Cascadia and Tasmania - with advice and principles that apply equally to gardeners in New England, the UK and Ireland, New Zealand, and southern Australia.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
