RELATED CONTENT
KING, F.H.
Farmers of Forty Centuries Jonathan Cape
1927
A granddaddy of them all, this classic was first published
in 1911. King's trip through China, Korea, and Japan showed
him how soil fertility had been preserved by returning all
organic wastes to the land. Hundreds of photos and
fascinating information. Recommended. Recently reprinted.
KONONOVA, M.M.
Soil Organic Matter Pergamon 1961
A technical work well worth reading for a better
understanding of the processes involved in biological
agriculture.
MAUNSELL, J.E.B.
Natural Gardening Faber 1958
A book of unconventional gardening techniques. Maunsell is
the most thorough of the no-diggers and his use of the
spading fork for "disturbing" the soil is worth noting.
NORTHBOURNE, LORD
Look to the Land Dent 1940
One of the early inspirational works. "Mixed farming is
economical farming, for only by its practice can the earth
be made to yield a genuine increase."
O'BRIEN, DALZIEL
Intensive Gardening Faber 1956
This book of original ideas describes a meticulously
efficient market garden. From the layout, to the
philosophy, the composting and fertilizing
procedures—even to a motion study of
transplanting—everything is covered. Veganic (without
animal manure) compost is used.
One hears a lot about the rules of good husbandry; there is
only one—leave the land Jar better than you found it.
George Henderson, The Farming Ladder
OYLER, PHILIP
The Generous Earth Hodder & Stoughton
1950
A classic. Tells the story of the timeless farm life in the
Dordogne Valley of France, "the land of all good things".
It shows how the operation of sound farming practices will
sustain fertility indefinitely.
Sons of the Generous Earth Hodder & Stoughton
1963
More on Oyler's experience in France. A valuable story from
a man who values hard work, rural skills, wholesome food
and drink, and a simpler way of life.
PFEIFFER, EHRENFRIED
Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening Anthroposophic
Press 1938
Presents the case for non-chemical farming in general, and
bio-dynamic farming in particular.
