Growing your own
is the key to a healthy life and a healthy planet
Our new, totally updated fruit and vegetable book has the most detailed guidance on how to grow vegetables and fruit successfully in your own back yard. It is written by Australians for Australian conditions. Based on 30 years of experience at our Digger's Club gardens, it is the perfect gift for you, your family, and your friends.
"The most nutritious and best tasting fruit and vegetables never reach the market because super markets only buy rock hard fruits of deception that improve their bottom line" says author Clive Blazey.
We will show you how:
- To grow avocados in every capital city
- To grow a year's supply of fruit and vegetables in an area no bigger than your front lawn (12m x 9m)
- Which fruits and vegetables are even healthier than broccoli or apples
- How to grow food organically, free of chemicals and definitely not genetically modified
Did you know?
- That heirloom varieties outyield hybrids?
- Pruning tomatoes actually reduces yields?
- Grafted tomatoes are less productive?
- Low acid tomatoes are a myth?
- You can grow a years supply of vegetables in just 10 square metres – just 2% of the average back yard
