Compost for Garden Plot or Thousand Acre Farm Faber
1943
An early work giving thorough treatment to all aspects of
composting. Five specific methods are described in detail.
There is also a more recent edition revised and co-authored
by Ben Easey.
BLAKE, MICHAEL
Concentrated Incomplete Fertilizers Crosby Lockwood
1966
A discussion of the faults and consequent abuses of
chemical fertilizers.
BROMFIELD, LOUIS
Pleasant ValleyHarper
1946
This is the first of Bromfield's farming books. In it, he
relates how he returned to Ohio and became a farmer, and
discusses the details of the early farm plans, soil
conservation, and the Friends of the Land.
Malabar Farm Harper 1947
Continues the story begun by Pleasant Valley and
covers the year-round rhythm of activities at Malabar. Also
focuses on Bromfield's other interests with chapters on
Grass the Great Healer, Malthus Was Right, and The
Organic-Chemical Fertilizer Feud.
Out of the EarthHarper
1948
Stresses the need for knowledge of the many intricate,
interrelated sciences involved in agriculture as a
complement to the knowledge of the farm itself. Bromfield
condemns the idea that "anybody can farm". Practical
intelligence and dedication are necessary for success.
From My Experience Harper 1955
The last of the farm books and the best of the lot.
Outstanding accounts of a roadside market, farming in
Brazil, building topsoils, living with the weather, and a
chapter titled "A Hymn to Hawgs" make enjoyable and
informative reading. Recommended.
BRUCE, MAYE
From Vegetable Waste to Fertile Soil Arthur Pearson
1940
Common-Sense Compost Making Faber 1967
Both books describe composting with the aid of herbal
extracts. The extracts supposedly activate the heap and
produce a superior finished product. The standard work.
Recently reprinted.
It would save much confusion if we all adopted the name
"biological
farming" rather than "organic farming" : We should then
keep the emphasis where it belongs, on the fostering of
life and on biological balance, and not on just one of the
techniques for achieving this, which, if narrowly
interpreted, may be effective only in a certain set of
circumstances.

Association,
