Annotation: Would you like to get more from your garden? An increasing number of gardeners have found that the answer lies in biodynamic gardening: an approach to planting, growing, and harvesting in accordance with cosmic forces. Biodynamic gardening evolves from the principle that the moon, sun, stars, and planets influence plants in regular rhythms, creating ideal days to sow, weed, and gather plants. Using this abundantly illustrated guide, you will discover how to use these rhythms to ensure that your garden produces bountiful fruit and vegetables bursting with flavor and nutrients. Hilary Wright is an award-winning writer and broadcaster and an experienced biodynamic gardener; among her previous books is The Great Organic Wine Guide.

Publisher Description:

Any gardener who already works with biodynamics will tell you the difference it has made to his or her garden. From crispier lettuce to more intensely-flavoured onions, biodynamics is a great way to get your garden to produce tasty, nutrient-packed fruit and vegetables.

The ideas behind biodynamics can sometimes be difficult to explain, however, and appear rather strange to those who are new to the technique. Hilary Wright, an experienced and passionate biodynamic gardener, guides the novice through the key points, whilst never losing sight of the ultimate goal: a healthy, abundant garden.

Easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrations, explanatory diagrams and color photographs show how biodynamic techniques can work for any gardener.
