Book Description (eg for reviews + catalogue descriptions)
"Growing Green" is an essential reference guide for all organic growers, researchers and students. This book introduces the concept of stockfree-organic and shows, through case studies, that when growers abandon the use of slaughterhouse by-products and manures they can be rewarded with healthier crops, less weeds, pests and diseases. The reader will be taken through each Stockfree-Organic standard step by step and learn how to grow and sell 60 different vegetables with confidence.

This practical and easy-to-follow guide answers:
- What tools and machinery will I need?
- What are the benefits of compost?
- How do I manage different green manures?
- Can I make seed compost without slaughterhouse by-products?
- What rotations should I use for year-round vegetable supply?
- How do I grow, harvest and store 60 different vegetables?
- How can I weed without chemicals?
- How can I reduce pest and diseases?
- How can I encourage wildlife?
- Where should I sell my produce?
- How can I ensure that I am reducing my ecological footprint?
