Heide Hasskerl - Self-Sufficient - Vegetables, Herbs & Berries from Your Own Garden! / Book

There are many gardening books available. However, the vast majority assume that a garden already exists. Those who are considering supplementing their diet with homegrown vegetables, herbs, and berries for the first time won't find much help, as they typically can't distinguish between herbs and weeds.

This practical guide, specifically aimed at beginners, changes all that. It explains step by step what needs to be done to transform the lawn in front of the house into a productive garden. The correct layout of the beds, soil preparation, the differences between desirable emerging plants and those best removed immediately, realistic estimates of the time required, and a comparison of costs and benefits make future gardening a predictable pleasure with a guaranteed success rate.
Useful tips and practical tricks from the author, sample plans on how to use 30 or 100 square meters most efficiently, and information on storing the harvest also make the book an interesting standard work for people who have already discovered their "green thumb".
