In an age where dreams of self-sufficiency seem unattainable, Growing Green shows that making a living by growing organic vegetables can by achieved by anyone. Until now, there have been no comprehensive guidelines on how to follow organic practices at the different scales of vegetable production using tractors, small machinery, and hand tools...

to keep things on topic ... I've been quite taken with the idea recently of using one's balcony (if you live in an apartment) to grow one's own greens. Apparently it is quite doable, and even a small space can produce high yields if you use the right 'raw' materials. One can even compost one's own kitchen waste and make some very high quality fertiliser.

of course, it does take an initial investment in time and dollars, and you have to be attentive to the clime and the season. But there is nothing comparable to taking back your own power than having direct control over how the food that enters your mouth was grown from seed to the dinner table.
