The Self-Fed Farm and Garden: A Return to the Roots of the Organic Method (Eliot Coleman and Dan Barber)

In The Self-Fed Farm and Garden, renowned organic grower and best-selling author Eliot Coleman presents the organic method as the self-sustaining system it was meant to be, rooted in soil health care. With clarity and confidence born from years of experience, he shows readers how they can shift to a model that continually recharges the soil with organic matter, thus allowing the soil food web to provide all the nutrients that crops need for healthy growth and excellent yields.

Filled with the same groundbreaking spirit of his now-classic The Winter Harvest Handbook—which introduced market gardeners to the simple, low-cost techniques by which they could harvest commercial vegetables all winter long—Coleman now shares his equally simple and dependable low-cost system for creating and maintaining guaranteed pure organic soil fertility that will carry your crop yields to perfection.
