    Discover the science behind gardening that will revolutionize your approach and make growing vegetables easier and more enjoyable than ever before…

    You’ve done everything right. You spent hours seeding, watering, and tending to your garden only to find that you end up with a dry, weed-filled patch of dirt.

    Feeling like you’ve wasted your time is frustrating, especially when you don’t know the reason why. It might seem like everyone else is able to conjure up a lush garden in no time, leaving you feeling lost and confused.

    As easy as gardening may seem in theory, most people don’t know much about the science behind it.

    Why, for example, are you only supposed to water certain plants in certain amounts? Why does it matter what soil you’re planting in?

    These questions, and others, often leave new and amateur gardeners alike scratching their heads.

    You may know what to do, but you don’t know why.

    Understanding what’s really happening in the earth that you’re so carefully tending to will change the way you think about gardening forever. No longer will you be trying methods randomly, hoping to hit on the right approach.

    In Basic Soil Science for Successful Vegetable Gardening, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

    • A simple, step-by-step method for planting and growing crops that even beginner gardeners will be able to follow
    • How to identify when a plant is ready to be harvested – and the proper techniques to do so
    • A breakdown of the different types of gardens with in-depth analysis of pros and cons so you can make the right choice depending on your needs
    • The ins and outs of soil science and why you need to understand it in order to have a thriving garden
    • How to correctly water your plants for maximum growth
    • 7 common mistakes made by amateur gardeners and how to avoid them to save yourself time, effort, and money
    • Everything you need to know about compost: how to make it, maintain it, and use it to improve your soil quality
    • 5 basic soil tests you can do at home, no labs required!

    And much more.

    Don’t spend another season toiling away only to come up with a few scraggly plants and a lot of wasted time. By learning what’s happening behind the scenes, you’ll be able to make informed decisions that will have your garden thriving in no time.

    03

    More than 150 recipes for making the most of your home-grown fruit and vegetables – from warming soups and bakes to vibrant summer salads and tangy preserves.

    There is nothing as satisfying as growing your own produce – home-grown fruit and vegetables, picked and used at the height of freshness, are more tasty and nutritious than any supermarket offerings. Not only that, but they also cut down on food miles and can be a far more budget friendly way to eat. Home-grown Harvest is a celebration of the bounty you can grow in your garden, back yard or even windowbox. Cultivating your own fruit and vegetables does not have to mean eating the same dishes days in a row to use up produce.

Simply organised, the book makes each vegetable or fruit the star of its own chapter, providing a wealth of different recipes to use up any gluts you may have (from the garden or a trip to the farmers’ market). From fresh dishes such as Triple Tomato Risotto with Basil or Strawberry Tiramisu, to preserves and chutneys, which can be stored for future use, each recipe is selected because it is rich in fresh produce. With handy tips and hints for preparing vegetables, and beautiful photographs throughout, Home-grown Harvest is an invaluable guide to cooking seasonally and eating very well indeed.

    There’s a secret to successful organic gardening — and when you know what it is, your garden does all the hard work for you.

    It will perhaps come as no surprise that Jamie Oliver grows his own organic vegetables. After all, if you’re a top chef, you need the highest quality, freshest ingredients for your recipes.

    But access to high quality ingredients shouldn’t be limited to the top chefs.

    Growing organic vegetables is one of the most natural things you can do to cultivate a healthy (and delicious) lifestyle.

    Yet, despite the lure of clean, nutritious vegetables, completely free of harmful chemicals, many people are intimidated by the idea of organic gardening.

    • What about the pests?
    • How do I deal with weeds?
    • How will I keep my tomatoes free from disease?

      They’re all valid questions, and if you’re worried about them, you’re in good company.

      The majority of domestic gardeners still use conventional methods — and this means they’ll resort to weed killers and chemical slug pellets when their crops are under attack.

      But the beauty of organic gardening is that it’s all about prevention rather than cure.

      You’ll never be able to completely escape the odd snail or dandelion… but when you start your garden with organic methods from Day 1, you can significantly reduce your chances of running into problems with pests and diseases… and that means you’ll have far less reasons to even think about using chemicals.

      It all comes down to creating a self-nourishing environment that encourages biodiversity. Do that, and you’ll have a garden that supports your crops… so you don’t have to.

      In How to Grow Amazing Organic Vegetables, you’ll find everything you need to build a successful organic vegetable patch from the ground up. You’ll discover:

      • The 5 fundamental building blocks of organic gardening — and how to use them to build a successful vegetable patch
      • Essential tools and equipment for organic gardening success
      • The #1 component of a thriving organic garden — and how you can cultivate it in yours
      • Everything you’ll ever need to know about home composting (and why it’s essential for your garden)
      • Why crop rotation is your secret weapon in organic growing (and how to do it easily)
      • Seed-sowing tips to encourage a productive harvest
      • What to do to manage pests, weeds, and diseases (because not even the most ecologically balanced garden is completely immune)
      • Helpful harvest and storage tips so you can make sure all of your bounty is well-used
      • A month-by-month guide to successful gardening maintenance
      • Hardiness zones demystified (with helpful information for gardeners in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada)
      • Detailed growing guides for the easiest vegetables for organic-gardening newbies

        And much more.

        If the idea of pest control and weed management has put you off the idea of growing organically, you’ve been missing the key principle of organic gardening.

        When you have a clear plan from the very beginning, you can make your garden do the work for you… and you’ll reap the rewards in the form of the tastiest, most nutrient-dense harvest you could possibly hope for.

  • Jekka’s Herb Cookbook: Foreword by Jamie Oliver

    08

    Jekka McVicar’s passion for herbs has evolved over 40 years. In this, her first cookery book, ‘queen of herbs’ Jekka offers over 250 original recipes using simple garden herbs, along with tips for growing and maintaining them.

    Herbs have long been a part of British culinary history, yet few people utilise them to their full potential. Incredibly versatile, not only do herbs impart flavour, aroma and texture to dishes, they are extremely beneficial to our health.

    Much more than a cookbook, Jekka’s Herb Kitchen features 50 herbs with a chapter and recipes devoted to each – Jekka’s huge knowledge of each herb’s history, cultivation and medicinal and culinary uses is unsurpassed. Her recipes are simple and economical – she shows how herbs can transform a cheap cut of meat, enliven a pasta sauce, and even add delight to desserts. She also offers suggestions for how best to combine herbs and what parts to use, gives ideas for using up a glut of a specific herb, and advises on how to preserve your herbs for the winter months.

    Moreover, this volume is a family affair – many of Jekka’s recipes are inspired by her grandmother and mother, and the stunning illustrations are by Jekka’s daughter, Hannah McVicar. With colour photographs throughout, this is a unique and beautiful volume from the UK’s foremost authority on herbs.
