Summary: R J Harris's Moon Gardening
Comment: This is one of the most important gardening books to come along in years. John Harris is perhaps the last Head Gardener in England using the deep trench methods of gardening, along with companion planting techniques and gardening according to the cycles of the moon. The quarters of the moon directly affect the water table of the earth and thereby directly affect the health and productivity of plants, shrubs, trees, vegetables and flowers. This knowledge is unsurpassed in garden books on the market currently, and it could very well revolutionize the way we garden! And it should. The old ways are always proven to be the best, and his sharing of his huge knowledge should place John Harris on the level of "National Treasure" in England.
This book is presented in a format which welcomes in all gardeners of any level of experience and education, and it is probably the singularly most exciting and clearly written book on the subject I've ever read. Every time I pick it up its like walking through the garden with John Harris, listening to him teach me about everything from the subsoil up, and I have learned so much from it my mind cannot hold it all. It is not a New Age book on gardening my what astrological sign the moon is transiting. Rather, it is a clear and in depth teaching of centuries old English gardeners' methods of understanding when things are to be done in the garden and most importantly, why. John Harris's explanation of deep trench gardening, opening up and feeding the sub soil, companion planting and rotating crops, as well as an every 4 year cycle of regenerating the garden beds is incredibly useful knowledge. We are all so lucky to have his publisher, Will Summers, realize the importance of helping John teach the world what he knows, and to have the vision to consolidate years of converstations with John Harris and put them into this book. I am going to tear up my farm garden this autumn, and rebuild it according to John's teachings, and I fully expect to see absolutely incredible results, even in the less than perfect East Central Plains of Colorado. I cannot wait until the second book from John Harris and Will Summers is available. ...
