The Ecological Farm emphasizes ecosystem-balancing, reduced tillage, and pest suppression-building higher soil quality and fertility-using fewer inputs. It teaches growers how to strengthen the "immune system" of a farm or garden, design a farm system that maintains soil cover, and supply crop needs using grown-on-farm inputs rather than relying on expensive purchased fertilizer. Farmer, consultant, and educator Helen Atthowe has filled The Ecological Farm with wisdom gained through decades of farming, both on her own and with her late husband, Carl Rosato. The book includes an unparalleled in-depth crop-by-crop guide to growing more than 25 of the most popular and profitable vegetables and fruits. The Ecological Farm is an indispensable tool for farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders who want to grow healthy food, making ecological concepts and practices understandable for all growers while inviting nature to participate in healthy farming.
