Backyard Gardening

All the Basics You Need to Know to Start and Sustain a Self Sufficient Thriving Organic Vegetable Garden Even If You Are a Beginner Gardener

By: Peter Greenfield

Narrated by: Jim Rising

Here is how you can avoid drinking the toxic pesticide cocktail supermarkets are serving you.

Do you find it a must to wash your veggies properly before eating them? Are pesticides in fruits and vegetables a constant thing on your mind while walking through the supermarket aisles? Do you spend time checking the labels before buying your greens to ensure you are making healthy choices?

The problem is labels are just labels at the end of the day. After consumer surveys revealed that the perception of healthfulness is a key driver of food choices, the food industry started doing everything to deliberately mislead customers with confusing labels.

Have you ever fallen for catchwords such as “whole grain”, “organic”, “natural”, and “no cholesterol”? You’ve been fooled more than once, and there is only one way to avoid consuming the poisonous cocktail of pesticides in supermarket crops: backyard gardening.

Imagine growing your favorite vegetables just a few yards away from your house, ready to be picked whenever you want. While the thought of it alone might be absurd, or almost close to being impossible, you will be surprised what a few months can do to make it happen.

In Backyard Gardening, you will discover:

• The principles of organic farming, and how to reap the best results
• How you can let your garden work for you, instead of the other way around
• Ways for how you can create healthier fertilizers, without spending a single cent
• Which particular insect you should never kill, and how it can actually strengthen your crop
• Why plants and humans are more alike than you think, and how this one insight prevents your plants from dying
• How this one simple trick will cut your expenses in half and save you more than seven hours of work per week
• A step-by-step guide on how you can effectively create healthier soil for your crops to thrive
• The tried-and-tested methods of managing pests without having to succumb to commonly used pesticides

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Lots of Helpful Information

I think I want to listen to this again. Next time I’ll be prepared to take notes! Great book!

A very practical beginner's guide

Whether you are interested in gardening as a hobby, a career, or to feed your family, this book is for you!
Written in easy to understand terms, this book gives you all the basics of everything you need to know to get started. Now more than ever, it is important to make sure the food you feed your family is safe, and homegrown is the best way to go. As a beginner, I definitely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of your skill level.

I’ll be putting it to use next spring

I’ve planted gardens in the past, but I’ve always had trouble with pests. I figured this one would have a section on such a thing, so I paid special attention to that part. I like how the author provided several strategies for warding off pests, including aerating and watering your soil properly and removing weeds and debris regularly. I’m hoping my gardening efforts will be more successful next year after listening to this one. Give it a listen if you’re in the same camp!

Great Book for Beginners!

It was a joy to read this book and feel confident that I could grow my own garden and survive! Especially with these times that we are currently in, I think this is a necessity. Being able to be self sufficient is such a calming idea. Not having to rely on any outside sources. I thoroughly enjoyed how the book is easy to understand with concepts you can apply right away. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to become self sufficient!

A Simple and easy way to approach gardening

I am so thankful for this book. As someone who just purchased my first home, with a healthy size yard, I can't wait to apply these techniques next year. I'm all about living organically and this book doesn't feel like too much. In other words, it's not overwhelming like so many others out there. There's information in here that I would have never even thought of, and I can't wait to apply these in my own yard. I look forward to studying this in the months to come to be ready for my next gardening season. Totally recommend this!

healthy yet?

I'm a juicer first. Been juicing for a couple years. Usually just buy my veg at the corner store though. We have some land in the back and i'm considering getting into the hobby. If you're looking to go hardcore organic, this book is a nice intro. But obviously, any way you slice it, gardening is a lot of work.

Excellent Resource!!

For a complete beginner in gardening, this book is totally for me! I found this book so good as it explored organic vegetable gardening. This is the book you need if you are a complete beginner like me. This book goes intro great detail the types of soil tests, crop rotations, composting, disease control, comparison planting, weed management, and how to harvest different types of vegetables. I loved how even though this book covers so much I like how it was so simple and eat to follow along. Gardening can be so helpful to stay healthy also a great hobby to kill time while everyone is at home. This is a must listen audiobook!

More than just gardening

This is the ideal starter book for gardening. Its not overwhelming but it covers all the bases comprehensively. It also made me realize that managing a simple garden is much more than just planting seeds and watering plants. Its empowering to create your own food, it teaches respect for nature, and it teaches responsibility for other living things. I think anybody that listens to this book will be energized to get started with their garden as soon as possible!

You'll get a green thumb after listening !!

The knowledge Peter has put together on gardening was an eye-opener. Strat to understand the process and how to produce an Organic garden will take me to a health self-produced food for myself and my family.

Great resource
