Complete Container Herb Gardening by Sue Goetz is a lovely book, full of photos and ideas about how to grow herbs.

The herbs are laid out so you know what to grow together for things like what you might want to use in cooking, for drinking as a tea, and what are good together for aromatherapy.

I enjoyed seeing this take on herbs, and seeing information on storing the herbs once grown.    If you’re interested in growing herbs, then this book probably has some ideas for you. It’s got information for beginner gardeners with information on soil, sun exposure and so on.

The No-Till Organic Vegetable Farm by Daniel Mays is a guide for how to develop your own no-till farm.

It has information on how they deal with weeds, pests, and watering.  It tells you all about how to lay out beds, how to layer plants, and gives you lots of tips.

I was reading it as I am interested in gardening, and grown my own vegetables this year for the first time.  Sadly, no hints about slugs in here for me, but there was so much other information in here that if you’re interested in ideas for how to grow organically, then you should give it a read!
