Organic Gardening with the Experts – Moira Ryan

With the increased concern about the harmful effects of pesticides on human health, and the long-term degradation of soil through the use of large quantities of artificial fertilisers, people are turning towards organic gardening. Fruit and vegetables grown with natural organic fertilizers and a minimum of spraying are not only more nutritious but also contribute to reducing the pollution of our environment.

Soil quality is all important in the growth of healthy plants. In this informative book, gardening expert Moira Ryan describes soil types and how to test them; she explains pH levels and how to maintain soil fertility using mulch and compost; mineral requirements for good healthy soil, their sources and inclusion in the compost process, are all explained clearly and simply.

Avoiding plant stress is a significant element of organic gardening. The measures that will help plants cope with excessive dry or wet conditions, strong winds, temperature or light conditions are all examined and illustrated in a clear manner.

Here is a book to help you and your garden ’to bloom’ with health.
