Regenerative Gardening: Simple, Sustainable Solutions for Healthier Food, Bigger Yields, Less Work and Happier Nature

This book is a compilation of all the critical elements of both ancient and modern wisdom which when combined will deliver long lasting soil fertility, healthy natural eco-systems and super nutrient dense food for less work, year over year.

But be warned: you won’t find glossy color photos here. Instead, what you WILL find is everything you need to know to create a thriving regenerative garden: The ancient practice that created rich fertile soils for Millenia where scientists thought fertile soils did not exist and were impossible to build, even in modern times! Another almost lost practice of the 19th century which can restore forests, orchards and gardens using simple applications of ‘rock dust’ and the global re-invention of agriculture this has created in the past twenty years. The simple no-turn compost system that gives you extreme soil microbial diversity to jump start living soil and replace constant fertilizing. Plus, learn why another form of composting, worm composting, is an absolute must for producing the most nutrient dense and clean “manure” on the planet and just how easy and cheap it is to get started. Discover the 5 key principles of regenerative gardening that define regenerative gardening and restore your soil to optimum health. Learn how regenerative practices transform soils and cut water use dramatically. Mulches: how they disappear and feed the soil, things you didn’t know about mulches, going way beyond simply covering the bed over winter. You'll learn how to help the natural world flourish, so it can do what it does best: grow! Create critical habitat for beneficial helpers and let our nature partners do their part, instead of trying to manage it all yourself. Find the best locally available and free to nearly free ingredients that will take your garden from struggling to thriving, and how to incorporate the real superpowers of these ingredients so your plants can take full advantage of them. Learn the power of homemade plant foods that can nourish your garden, defend against pests and supercharge the nutrition of the food you grow. Recipes: I share my own fertilizer recipes made from materials from the garden, no more buying expensive fertilizer mixes, saving money. Are you ready to take your gardening to a whole new level? By understanding what regenerative really means, you can find your way to a simpler, more effective and healthier garden in just one growing season and get on a path to better and more abundant gardens every year with fewer and fewer expensive inputs.

All of this plus a comprehensive online resource library full of easy-to-follow links to teaching videos and online resources, some of which have only been seen by a handful of people, simply because no one knows they are out there! Watch detailed presentations from the best no-till market gardeners and farmers whose productivity has sky-rocketed while their inputs diminished. Follow along as farmers and gardeners explain exactly how they achieved the results you are looking for by implementing simple hacks and increasing microbial life in their soils, starting in year one. Discover how, by changing the way you manage your gardens, you can cut your workload substantially and still enjoy bountiful harvests and thriving plants. You’ll have access to the same people I’ve been learning from over the past decade as I dove deep into regenerative practices while building our nut, fruit tree and berry nursery, Spencer Creek Nursery.

You’ll find the answers to any questions you thought of while reading the book, all laid out in a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of links to videos, interviews, planting guides and more. Plus the entire book list from my extensive research library so you can find the real people and resources behind this remarkable movement towards a sustainable, thriving future.
