The resilient gardener : food production and self-reliance in uncertain times

The resilient gardener Food production and self-reliance in uncertain times

Carol Deppe

Book - 2010

Scientist/gardener Carol Deppe combines her passion for gardening with newly emerging scientific information from many fields-- resilience science, climatology, climate change, ecology, anthropology, paleontology, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, health, and medicine. Here, Deppe extends these principles with detailed information about growing and using five keystone crops that are especially important for anyone seeking greater self-reliance: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs. This is both a conceptual and a hands-on gardening book, suitable for gardeners at all levels of experience. -From publisher description.
