So Easy Herbal: Ten Herbs How To Grow Them Use Them And Save Money
[#54 - back for a 3rd day.]
Essential Vegetables Box Set (4 Books in 1 Package): Organic Gardening with Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, Broccoli, Cabbage, and More
This book is a bundled package containing four practical books on vegetable gardening. Together, they can help you grow over 30 different delicious organic vegetables in your home garden. These works are particularly helpful for beginning gardeners and anyone who has never grown these vegetables. They are appropriate for urban gardeners as well as others, since they cover both traditional gardening and container gardening for small spaces.
Each of these books is available separately, but this package gives you a discount on all four. The first book, How to Grow Potatoes, is one of my most popular gardening books. Everyone should grow these simple and delicious tubers in their yard, or in containers on their patio, doorstep, rooftop, balcony, or deck. I wrote Potatoes because there was a lack of good information out there on both traditional and innovative methods of spud growing. I saw some good books, but who really wants to pay $20 for a huge book about potatoes?
This book covers the basics of potato growing, walks you through all the information you need on selecting different types, proper soil, materials, planting, fertilization, watering, care, harvest, and storage. It also introduces you to some creative ideas for getting plants to produce more potatoes. Just the basics, no fluff, at a very low price people can afford.
Fast forward to the next book in this set, which is How to Grow Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplant. This is one of my newer books. Tomatoes are most peoples’ favorite homegrown gardening crop, and for good reason. Anyone who has tasted a homegrown tomato will tell you how much better it tastes than anything in the store. Peppers, including sweet peppers and spicy chili peppers, generally are recognized as the second most popular home food crop in the United States, Top 10 in the United Kingdom, and popular elsewhere also.
Why eggplants? As Asian and Italian gardeners will tell you, they’re really good when grown at home. As with tomatoes and peppers, the home organic gardener suddenly has access to dozens of different varieties of eggplants (hundreds, or maybe thousands in the case of tomatoes and peppers!). They are WAY yummier than the store-bought ones.
Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are all so closely related that their growing needs and habits are very similar. So once you learn to grow tomatoes, then you can pop in a few eggplant and pepper plants, treat them the same way, and they will reward you with lots of delicious organic vegetables. Once again, this book is a concise guide to growing these three veggies, leading you through proper site selection, planting them from seed or seedling, appropriate support from stakes, cages, or trellises, proper watering, fertilization, and care, and three advanced tips for pampering your plants into producing lots and lots of really good tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. It’s all here.
Third in this set is my How to Grow Beans and Peas book. With the rising cost of food, more people need to learn how to grow some of their own protein. These wonderful legume plants provide you with a dirt cheap source of high quality protein and vegetables in both warm and cool season weather. Beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, mung beans, adzuki beans, cowpeas, limas, green (snap) beans, sugar snap peas, snow peas, runner beans, fava beans…they’re all in here. You will learn the differences between bush and pole varieties and how you can make the most of your garden or container growing space using either one.
You also get Fall and Winter Gardening, a great book which is a de facto guide to growing 25 different cool-weather vegetables, including broccoli, carrots, cabbage, spinach, beets, parsley, collards, kale, lettuce, endive, mache, cress, and more! This book guides you through garden preparation, determining when to plant in your area for a late-season harvest, proper organic care and fertilization, extending your season, and harvesting and storing your produce.

Raising Chickens: Egg Production - Chicken Care Info (How to get the best from your chickens)
Top Tips For Keeping Chickens
Raising your own chickens, whether raising chickens for eggs or for the meat, is something that more and more people are getting involved in, and with good reason. Self-sufficiency or acquiring food straight from the source, whether that be vegetables or eggs, is always preferable to anything that has been lying on a supermarket shelf for who knows how long.
Keeping chickens healthy and productive is the aim of this information book, and through my own and others experiences in keeping poultry of many kinds, I hope the information contained here will be invaluable to your own chicken keeping ambitions.
What you will find in this publication:
• Information on some of the best chickens to keep for a bumper egg harvest.
• How to build a coop that is vermin free, and all about vermin and predator control.
• How to spot signs of ill health in your chickens and how to keep them healthy and productive.
• How to keep chickens over the winter so you they will still lay eggs – no matter how harsh the conditions.
• General feeding and care of your poultry.

<<<< Container Gardening Bundle – Limited Time Offer, Only $3.95…Value $5.98!>>>>
Introducing The Container Garden
Not everyone has the luxury of a large garden in which to grow vegetables or fruit – even flowers if that is your heart’s desire!
By employing these container gardening methods however, you too can enjoy the fruits of your labours as you grow your own Tomatoes or vegetables (Tomatoes are classed as a fruit) in confined spaces either within the home or indeed outside on the patio.
What is included in this Container Gardening Bundle
This gardening bundle includes two books – Vegetable Container Gardening and Tomato Container Gardening. Between them, they cover the many aspects and advantages of growing vegetables – including tomatoes! – in confined spaces.
Container Gardening is very similar to Raised Bed Gardening, in that you are growing in confined spaces. Many of the same principles apply with regard to growing compost, or pest control for instance. Perhaps one of the main advantages that container gardening has over the raised bed concept; is that you can (generally) move around your containers so that they can take most advantage from the suns position.
*** DISCLOSURE/CONFESSION! ***
As these three books overlap on some subject matters, it is inevitable that some of the same material may well be partially repeated throughout this work. What has to be Borne in mind with this collection – as with most book bundle’s – is that this is a collection of stand-alone gardening books, and so will cover the aspects needed to complete the individual books. However it is intended that the amount of new material included in the individual books, as well as the greatly reduced price compared to purchasing them individually, will make up for this in some measure.
