A low-cost, sustainable approach to cultivating out-of-season vegetables in small spaces, using the age-old technique of growing in hot beds.
The ancient method of growing vegetables in hot beds, used by the Victorians and by the Romans, harnesses the natural process of decay to cultivate out-of-season crops. In this easy-to-use guide, Jack First shares essential tips on how to reap the rewards available from modernizing and adapting this remarkable technique. With just stable manure (or alternatives), a simple frame and a small space to build your bed, you can be harvesting salads in March and potatoes in early April.
This accessible, illustrated guide has everything you need to understand how to use this highly productive, low-cost, year-round, eco-friendly gardening system. Straightforward explanations and diagrams show how you too can grow early veg without fossil-fuel energy or elaborate equipment.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Jack First is an experienced horticulturalist who has pioneered, developed and fully tested the methods covered in this book. Jack studied agriculture in the late 1960s and has been involved with farming and horticulture ever since. During the late 1970s he travelled for eighteen months around New Zealand, Australia and the far east. He was a Soil Association symbol holder in Yorkshire for ten years, taught organic gardening at Shipley College, has given public talks to allotment associations and worked in schools setting up organic gardens. He also worked in a wholefood cooperative, producing, wholesaling and retailing organic produce. Before his retirement, Jack worked for seventeen years with volunteers on a large plot in Keighley and managed a horticultural project for people with mental health problems. He is married and has three sons. His hot beds have been featured on BBC's Gardeners' World.
