Green Thumb Not Required – Organic Gardening is Easy and Straightforward in New How-to Ebook
Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) May 12, 2009
With spring in full swing, Goorganicgardening.com, a gardening resource site and blog, is proud to launch their new ebook, “How to Master Organic Gardening.” It can be downloaded at http://goorganicgardening.com/organic-gardening-ebook.
With over 100 pages of simple and effective organic gardening practices, illustrated throughout with color photos and diagrams, the ebook is easy to read and directed at beginning gardeners or those who are interested in “going organic.” Specifically, it is directed at teaching homeowners a healthier mindset about gardening.
“Most people wish to help save the environment by reducing their use of chemicals in the garden, but do not know where to begin,” said Chris Molnar, one of the authors and editor of http://goorganicgardening.com. “This ebook was written to not only to introduce people to the basic principles and practices of organic gardening, but to help clear up the confusion of what organic products are available and how effective they are.”
A recent survey by The Garden Writers Association revealed that 80% of consumers would use organic products if they were convinced they worked just as well as chemical products and at no additional charge. The problem, argues Chris, is that conventional gardeners are taught to believe in instant results without knowing the long-term consequences to their garden.

“For instance, chemical fertilizers and herbicides discourage and destroy the soil microbes necessary for a healthy garden. Plants look tall and green, but in poor soil they are more susceptible to disease and insect infestations. This results in additional expensive chemical treatments, and the vicious cycle continues.”
The ebook breaks this chemical cycle by teaching readers the so-called “secrets” of organic gardening, which are not secrets at all, but practices that until the middle of the 20th century were the norm around the world. Specifically, it teaches gardeners such concepts and techniques as:
Building-up the soil to encourage the rich and vital communities of beneficial microbes and worms necessary for a long-term, healthy garden:
- Attracting and retaining beneficial insects to control pests
- Common ways to naturally treat and avoid garden diseases
- Detailed instructions on how and what to compost, the core of building up the health of your soil and garden
- Proper watering, feeding and mulching techniques
- Companion planting to resist pest and disease, and to give many vegetables more flavor
- A multi-year, step-by-step organic lawn care plan
Co-written by Katie Elzer-Peters, a professional horticulturalist and public garden curator, and Chris Molnar, an avid organic gardener for over 10 years, the book is backed by practical and professional knowledge of the best organic gardening techniques.
The book can be instantly downloaded to your computer at http://goorganicgardening.com/organic-gardening-ebook. The book includes two bonus guides, “All About Butterfly Gardening” and “Organic Vegetable Gardens: An Easy Reference Guide.” A free preview copy of the ebook is attached, which includes the complete table of contents and sample chapters.
