How to grow amazing organic vegetables: How to use the 5 fundamental building blocks of Organic gardening to successfully grow your own vegetables
£0.70
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.

The author has produced a book jam packed with value.
Yes, it’s a kind of how-to manual, but its full of snippets of the authors life making it a really interesting read.
Everything is laid out clearly, from which tools to buy and how to grow specific veg.
I’m a complete novice, but having watched my father try and fail numerous times to grow vegetables made me feel I couldn’t do it.
With the info in this book, I have a feeling I might just be able to….

I don’t normally review books as a rule but, as someone moving into a new property with the privilege of some space available for growing vegetables, I was looking for a comprehensive guide to the approach of growing vegetables organically. This guide did just that, it has given me the basis of a plan for next years campaign. I feel I will be going back and forwards for guidance but that’s exactly what I was wanting.
If it’s something that interests you but you have little knowledge, then this book is ideal.

This book is from the heart, and you can really relate to the passion that has been put into researching and formulating all the information into a digestible manor. I have recently applied for a new allotment and the information on how to prepare the ground, and maintain it for all year round fruit and vegetables is invaluable for me, as originate the inner city. This will be a pivotal tool for me and my family to grow and enjoy fruit and vegetables as they should be enjoyed.”

I am just starting a new allotment and this book is proving invaluable. I want to grow organically and it covers everything that is useful to know, from tools, understanding the soil and how to make compost, and the actual growing of organic vegetables. It is easy to understand, and structured so you can dip into or read cover to cover. There are useful tips, and information about crop rotation, harvest and storage, as well as seasonal plans and guidance. This book will be well used as I progress and meanwhile, it is providing useful learning and ideas. I highly recommend this book, and if you want to grow organic vegetables this is a book to consider.

I’m not one for reading books but this one is just perfect and does exactly what is says on the tin.
Having ventured in to the world of growing our own veg during the lockdown but somewhat unsuccessfully this book has provided myself and also the kids a great guide to achieve amazing home grown veg.
Easy step by step and a great educational read and some great family time with the kids both reading and then doing.
Well done to the author for putting this together. Awesome and hoofing book. A must buy for anyone and a great present for young and old , Thank you.

This book is very informative for a novice gardener such as myself! It’s an easy read, I’ve enjoyed the authors style of writing and the tips and information he’s shared.
by Stuart H
If you’re a complete gardening novice, like me then you can make a good start with this handy book or in fact at any level of gardening experience you will find this book very useful
It manages to explain the basics making use of whatever space you have, choosing tools and deciding whether to sow seeds or buy plants. Soil preparation, feeding and watering, weeding and composting and even crop rotation are explained – in enough detail to get you started but not enough to overwhelm.
The common and popular vegetables are covered (and many more)- all have things we can grow without effort, and things we struggle with but no need to worry as the informative step by step guide will make this an easy process .
To reiterate no matter what level about a complete novice or experienced Gardner this helpful guide is clearly laid out and you’ll have no trouble finding the information you need.

I like that it is written without any jargon. Some photos or drawings of the plant being discussed would have been nice
