Tired of battling pests and weeds, poor soil, and endlessly spreading compost, mulch, and buying expensive inputs? 

Our Ecological Gardening Handbook shows you a completely new way to reliably and affordably grow food by depending more on nature's free services. By repairing the ecosystems in your vegetable and other food gardens, you can then harvest nutrient-dense food with your soils naturally feeding your plants, with insects and birds controlling most of your pests, and your garden more resilient to drought, heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions.

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!

How much money and energy do you waste every year spreading mulch—only to watch it break down and disappear?

Traditional mulch is useful, but spreading it is not the easiest, cheapest, or best thing to do. Living mulch frees up our time. By using a strategic mix of perennial and self-seeding ground cover plants, you grow mulch - right where it's needed. Living mulch creates a lush, self-sustaining ground cover that reduces weed pressure and improves soil health naturally. It saves time and money, eliminating the need for annual mulching.

This Handbook includes: 

* Beginner’s Starter Guide: A simple step-by-step way to establish your first living mulch cover.
* Advanced techniques: Designed to transform your living mulch into a robust food production system. 
* 90 + Plant Species Profiles: Carefully selected living mulch species to help you choose the most suitable ones for your climate and unique growing conditions.
