How to Grow More Vegetables – (And Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine is the world’s leading book in biointensive growing and a classic in the field of sustainable gardening, this book shows in generous detail how to produce a beautiful organic garden with minimal watering and care, whether it's a few tomatoes in a tiny backyard or enough food to feed a family on less than half an acre. More than simply a superb organic gardening book, this classic text and reference for food growers is a key part of a grassroots global solution to hunger and environmental degradation.

Based on the work of master horticulturalist Alan Chadwick, How to Grow More Vegetables has been refined over more than 35 years by John Jeavons and the staff and volunteers of Ecology Action. This significantly revised and expended edition contains updated gardening charts and the latest techniques developed by Ecology Action, including sustainable growing practices and optimizing your soil fertility.
