Organic Container Gardening: Grow Pesticide-Free Fruits and Vegetables in Small Spaces
Published March 2, 2012 |
Organic Container Gardening is about reducing pesticide exposure in the family diet. It is a complete guide to growing the twelve fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues according to USDA testing. From Apples and Celery to Strawberries and Spinach, pick a few of your favorites from the list. Make a big difference in your family's pesticide exposure with a small organic garden.
"After talking with other parents, I realized we all wanted an inexpensive way to feed our children more foods with less pesticide residue. None of us had time and few of us had the space to grow large gardens. I began researching the problem and soon realized a family's intake of pesticides could be substantially reduced by selecting their favorite foods from the EWG's Dirty Dozen list and growing these in containers or small space gardens."
- Barbara Barker, from the first chapter "There are a number of books on bookstore shelves these days that offer to help us become container gardeners. Barker's book, however, is unique, for she combines the information you need to know about gardening in containers with what you need to know to protect your food supply. Most of us don't have a great deal of extra time on our hands these days, so concentrating our efforts on replacing at least some of the 'dirty dozen' with our own pesticide-free fruits and vegetables makes very good sense. In fact, this whole book makes very good sense. You'll find yourself going back to it over and over again."
- Susan Wittig Albert, Story Circle Book Reviews
