Both Epub and PDF are the originals, perfect and the PDF is OCR
I know, the name sounds like crap. I know, all the descriptions online seem like written by teen-agers fan-boys. That doesn't change the fact that this is a remarkable book.
In short: there are many books to grow a lot of vegs in little area, typically urban (terraces and so on), but they usually have the same problems:
* they lack the accountability. That is, how much energy are you spending to get that energy out? What is your ecological footprint per KCal?
* They use a lot of fertilizer and this kind of things.
Now, what Jeavons is trying with this book is setting up a framework and showing the single techniques (it's a hands-on book) to make very intensive production on very little space not only without using chemical fertilizers and such, but also accounting for everything he uses, making it really effective and expanding the possibilities: not only food but also insects, wood, craft material, eye candy design, and such.
He also does workshops and courses, in case you care.
Ok, enough of me, this is from amazon:
A classic in the field of sustainable gardening, HOW TO GROW MORE VEGETABLES shows how to produce a beautiful organic garden with minimal watering and care, whether it's just a few tomatoes in a tiny backyard or enough food to feed a family of four on less than half an acre. Updated with the latest biointensive tips and techniques, this is an essential reference for gardeners of all skill levels seeking to grow some or all of their own food.
