Essential tools for successful vegetable growers
Often overlooked by both home and market gardeners, the right farm and garden tools are essential for cultivating success. Vegetable Garden Tools: A Grower's Guide will help you select the appropriate equipment for your unique situation, drawing on "The Market Gardener Method." This method, developed by Jean-Martin Fortier, is a proven formula for successful, small-scale, high-yield microfarming.
This highly accessible, succinct, and beautifully illustrated full-color handbook features:
- Recommendations for garden tools and implements for every stage of cultivationâfrom soil preparation and sowing to planting, crop maintenance, and harvesting.
- A focus on "low-tech" hand tools that are inexpensive, sustainable, and allow for working the soil while respecting biodiversity. These tools increase productivity and efficiency, and improve ergonomics.
- Detailed information on the function, benefits, and operation of each piece of equipment, accompanied by over 100 explanatory drawings.
- Specific advice and tips to get the most out of your garden tools and farm equipment, whether you are using them in a family garden or on a diversified market farm.
Vegetable Garden Tools: A Grower's Guide is a keystone title in the Grower's Guides from the Market Gardener series. This curated collection of practical handbooks is designed to provide everyone from novice gardeners to seasoned horticulturalists and farmers with the information they need to grow better using Jean-Martin Fortier's principles of biointensive, regenerative agriculture at a human scale.
