The 20-30 Something Garden Guide by Dee Nash Pdf

This is one of those "especially for now" kinds of books, when food security appears on our basic to-do list. It's about growing food closer to where we live, whether it's on a condo deck, in a backyard or in a community garden. The 20-30 Something Garden Guide gives that active, mostly urban, 20-30 cohort a fun, non-intimidating introduction to the basics of gardening. More than ever, they want to know where their food comes from, and they're hip to the importance of good health and the environment. They may not have a lot of free time or change in their pockets, but if they could find a no-fuss, "here's how you can do it" Gardening 101, they'd go for it. This is that book: high graphic appeal, fully illustrated, step-by-step projects and essential tips. Garden expert Dee Nash divides her book into four types and sizes of gardens - starting with Farming Your Patio, Balcony or Deck - and giving incremental goals for the first year, and the second and third. With this guide as a basic roadmap, new gardeners can be as creative and out-of-the-box as they want.

Vegetable Gardening 101 by Justin Tuggle Pdf

This step-by-step guide to safe and inexpensive food production is organized and provided for the purpose of allowing each inexperienced reader to effectively and successfully take control of his or her basic food supply. In securing this food supply they provide themselves with freedom from fear of having food available due to financial stress, concern for food safety, and protection from those that would hoard under unexpected circumstances. This is your safety net. "The prudent see danger and take refuge from it, but the simple keep going and suffer for it" Proverbs 27: 12. It is essential in providing security for our families that a safe and readily available source of food, which has no chance of being contaminated, abused, damaged, overpriced, or hoarded, is present at your finger tips. There will be many choices to make as you filter and digest the information present in this guide. Choices will include organic versus conventional versus a hybrid of the two production systems, where to plant, what to plant, what to store, freezing versus canning, different types of storage methods, seed sources, with or without irrigation, and so on. There will not be a wrong or right decision related to the choices listed here, but management and execution of the choices is what will let you succeed or fail. The underlying goals, mentioned above, are to provide each reader with crash course in food production, a sense of the importance of food security for their families and our society, and the understanding of exactly how to achieve that food production. Our educational systems at the primary, secondary, and collegiate level, with the direction of our 'almighty government', have failed us miserably in that our populace is uneducated in providing the most basic necessity, food, which has provided every society, throughout history, the ability to sustain itself. The sole purpose of these aforementioned institutions is for the education of our public. Our leadership, over the last 84 years, has chosen that it is more important to know how to act in theater, participate in sports, speak eloquently, sound educated, and understand topics that have for 6,000 years of available human history had no relevance in life and survival of our societies. It creates the ultimate of a dependant society. He who controls the food controls life itself. Have we forgotten our history books and become so self-centered, incompetent, and complacent that we think we have the right to food on the grocery store shelf or in the cabinet? The material covered in this document should be required mastery in each education level.
