Thanks to Steve Roth of Quarto Publishing Group, I am giving away one print copy of Composting For A New Generation by Michelle Balz.

Description Composting For A New Generation by Michelle Balz


COMPOSTING FOR A NEW GENERATION by Michelle Balz, breaks through the traditional realm of environmentalists and explores the world of the benefits composting has on the garden. These benefits are impossible to deny but many people have avoided getting started for two good reasons: either they don’t have the yard space, or, they are put off by the appearance and the smell. These were legitimate excuses just a few years ago. Today, however, advances in technology and in composting science have eliminated these issues.

Composting can be done virtually anywhere, including indoors, and the mess and odor are easier to control than ever before. The extra nutrients extracted from composting makes for a well-fed garden with plenty of nutrients and rich moisture. Composting for a New Generation includes tried-and-true composting methods and new, innovative techniques. You’ll learn the science of composting, traditional bin composting (including how-to sections on building your own bin), vermicomposting (with worms), composting with nature, keyhole gardens, organic composting, and using your finished compost. Composting for a New Generation is the most complete book to date for your organic soil needs.

 COMPOSTING FOR A NEW GENERATION is perfect for:

  • Anyone interested in learning effective composting methods and new innovative techniques
  • Those interested in learning the science of composting
  • Exploring the methods of traditional bin composting, composting with nature, keyhole gardens, and much more!

Description of High-Value Veggies by Mel Bartholomew


Calculate the return on investment for your vegetable garden and get the most bang for your gardening bucks!

Get the most return on investment from your garden by calculating which vegetables, fruits, and herbs give the highest payback. To make the selection process of what to grow easy, Mel Bartholomew–author of the best-selling Square Foot Gardening–has a new book to maximize your garden’s ROI.High-Value Veggies is an easy-to-use reference book helping gardeners choose edibles that make the most financial and spatial sense. Explore the thought processes and math behind growing vegetables and herbs in order to craft the best plan for your produce.

Maximizing your garden’s yield is no simple task. Consider the tomato; most people think it’s a safe bet for a high-yield return==but which variety? Heirloom tomatoes typically cost $5 or more a pound at farmers’ markets. You can beat that price by growing Cherokee Purples from seed at a net cost of only 80 cents per pound. If you plant purchased seedlings, the cost will go up to about $1 a pound–and that’s including the cost of water and fertilizer. High-Value Veggies makes this cost evaluation for each vegetable easy.

Whether you’re interested in growing tomatoes, pumpkins, cabbage, corn, or anything else, it’s wise to consider the invisible dollar signs sown along the way. The relative ROI for each veggie in High-Value Veggies is calculated based on dollar value generated for each square foot planted. You don’t need to be a math whiz to plan your next vegetable garden. Bartholomew has done the math for you, and he has cost-effective answers.

About Mel Bartholomew


Mel Bartholomew is the founder and inventor of Square Foot Gardening and the author of All New Square Foot Gardening, the best-selling gardening book in America for a generation. The book has sold 2.5 million copies since Bartholomew wrote the first book in 1981.

He hosted a PBS TV show for five years, and then was telecast for three more years on the Learning Channel and Discovery Network. Today, Bartholomew presides over a nonprofit SFG Foundation that encourages every household around the world to have a small garden and eat fresh, healthy vegetables that are uncontaminated.
