Josie Jeffery’s book “The Mix & Match Guide to Companion
Planting has some really good information on gardening in an organic way. There
is info on composting, collecting rain water, sowing seeds, transplanting and
thinning just to name a few topics. The main focus is the flip, tab pages that
is a Directory of companion plants. You can pick your main crop and then line
up plants that will grow well and become natural pest control and natural
minerals to help with growth.
I found the book full of a lot of useful information and I
think it is a good starting point for growing food organically with no harmful
pesticides or fertilizers but I feel like it is lacking in depth of
information. There weren’t a lot of crops listed that I would plant but there
were some that I would.
I would say this is an easy book to grasp and a good start
to gardening organically but I wouldn’t say it is comprehensive. It is
beautifully laid out.
