Organic Land Care - Working with Nature
This book was designed for the internet, and actually is a web
site with over 1500 pages, hundreds of pictures and links to outside
resources; a truly integrated 3-dimensional experience in learning.
As one instructor put it: "It's alive, fascinating. It
draws you in and makes you want to learn more and more."
However, unlike regular web sites this is designed to be a course
of instruction, to be read from beginning to end. But it is also
an incredible resource library on organic horticulture (with search
function), which is constantly updated to incorporate the newest
research and references. It's a "living" book.
This intense and challenging course of study introduces students
in plain language to the science and practice of organic horticulture.
You will:
| Learn: |
How plants depend on and interact with their environment,
both above and below ground. |
| Discover: |
How impaired plant and environmental vitality lead to plant
pests, diseases and other landscape problems. |
| Examine: |
How common landscape practices impact on the environment and
ultimately plant health:
- design considerations
- construction methods
- maintenance practices
- pesticides, and
- soil amendments.
|
| Know: |
How to design, build and maintain landscapes for improved
plant health, easy maintenance, enhanced beauty and lasting
enjoyment. |
Students who have been practicing conventional horticulture will
find many of their practices challenged, nagging doubts exposed,
questions answered they didn't even know they had, and new questions
arising. Everyone will gain a deeper understanding of how nature
works.
