Eco-logical Gardening Handbook
Create A Self-Sustainable Garden
Tired of battling pests and weeds, poor soil, and endlessly making compost and spreading mulch?
Our Ecological Gardening Handbook shows you how to rely on Nature's free services instead. By repairing the ecological systems in your vegetable garden beds and other food gardens, you'll harvest healthy food with your soils naturally supplying nutrients to your plants, with insects and birds controlling most of your pests, and your garden more resilient to drought, flooding rain and other extreme weather.
Build Healthy Soil
Tired of the endless cycle of spreading compost?
Our soils may not show the customary signs of soil degradation like erosion and compaction, but we rely on compost and expensive garden products to grow a decent crop. It's difficult to appreciate what we can achieve as virtually all of us grow food in soil that no longer works properly.
We’ll show you how to repair the essential natural processes in your soil. It’s not complicated! Your plants will get five-star catering directly from your soil ecosystem rather than via the intermittent inputs you supply!
How To Drought-Proof Your Garden
Tired of watching your garden wither during dry spells?
Drought is no longer a distant threat. It's a harsh reality that's impacting gardens worldwide. While traditional solutions like irrigation, mulch and drought-tolerant plants can help, there's a more sustainable and cost-effective approach.
Our Handbook shows you how to absorb and store more rainwater in your soil. You'll also see how to combine this eco-logical approach with landscaping solutions for extra challenging sites.

GrowMap
Wouldn't it be great to grow plants that look after themselves?
We can grow strong, healthy, and self-sufficient plants by better understanding our growing conditions and then choosing plants that grow well in these conditions.
Using the steps detailed in this Handbook, you'll easily collect the information you need to understand and map the growing conditions in your backyard and community garden.
Diving deep with tape measures and surveying equipment is unnecessary. Everyone can get involved, whether drawing the patterns of sun and shade, exploring where the water flows, looking for critters in the leaf litter, or counting earthworms!
Specialist skills and equipment aren't required to create a GrowMap!
