Requests:  0 Summary:  The Ecological Farm is the go-to guide for ecological growing, with a unique focus on reduced tillage, minimizing farm and garden inputs, and pest control. Reflecting the wisdom that farmer, consultant, and educator Helen Atthowe and her late husband, Carl Rosato, gained during decades of farming experience, this book guides readers on how to reduce or eliminate the use of outside inputs of fertilizer or pesticides, even those that are commonly used on certified organic orchards and market gardens. In clear language and with color photographs, charts, and graphs throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of managing the details of an entire growing system over the full life of the enterprise. The Ecological Farm makes complex, sometimes messy, ecological concepts and practices understandable to all growers, and makes healthy farming, in which nature is invited to participate, possible.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 631.584 At Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 631.584 Atthowe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 631.584 At Checked In Add Copy to MyList
