HOWARD, SIR ALBERT
RELATED CONTENT
An Agricultural Testament Oxford1940
The most important seminal work of biological agriculture,
it inspired countless readers to try his ideas. The book
presents ways and means by which the fertility of the soil
can be restored, maintained, and improved by natural
methods. Recommended.
The Soil and Health Devin-Adair 1947
A continuation of the ideas of the Agricultural
Testament, presented in a more popular form. "I have
not hesitated to question the soundness of present-day
agricultural teaching and research . . . due to failure to
realize that the problems of the farm and garden are
biological rather than chemical." Recommended. Reprinted
1972.
HOWARD, LOUISE
The Earth's Green Carpet Faber 1947
A popular recounting of the ideas of Sir Albert Howard
through the eyes of his wife. Well done.
Sir Albert Howard in India Faber 1953
Traces the development of Howard's thought during his years
as a researcher in India. A valuable record of his
scientific work.
HUNTER, BEATRICET.
Gardening Without Poisons Houghton-Mifflin
1964
Undoubtedly the best documented and most thoroughly
researched work on the subject. Well organized with an
excellent index and bibliography. Recommended.
JENKS, JORIAN
The Stuff Man's Made Of Faber 1959
The origin, the philosophy, and the scientific evidence
behind biological agriculture. Jenks, for many years editor
of the Journal ofthe Soil Association,
has an encyclopedic grasp of the subject.
KING, F.C.
The Compost Gardener Faber 1943
This small book lays down the general principles of
cultivation for all the popular vegetables. Contains some
unique information.
Gardening With Compost Titus Wilson
1944
Compost preparation and use, comments on chemical
fertilizers, and sections on weeds and earthworms.
The Weed Problem Faber 1951
King is doubly unorthodox. He defends the control rather
than elimination of weeds and he condemns turning over the
soil.
As always in my experience, the destructive activity of
insects came only when plants were in an abnormally weak
condition.
Formerly I believed that solely by virtue of the best
possible soil conditions one could banish both insects and
diseases. l have /earned better. Most diseases do seem to
disappear completely as the soil improves, but insects are
not so easily disposed of.
