Looking for an organic gardening book that you can recommend to learn more about pesticide-free gardening.

In organic gardening, soil quality decides vegetable quality. That’s why you need good quality compost to keep the soil productive for organic vegetable gardening.

Compost can be made from leaves, dead flowers, vegetable scraps, fruit rinds, grass clippings and manure. The ideal organic soil has a dark color, sweet smell and is full of earthworms. Some soil may need more natural additives such as bonemeal, rock phosphates or greensand. A simple soil test will tell you the pH balance and which nutrients you need to use.
