Gardening Books from the Experts at Rodale

-
I have a vintage paperback copy of a J. I. Rodale biography; it's evidence that I'm an organic nutrition nerd!  Considered the father of the organic movement, Jerome Irving Rodale popularized the term organic as he explored the connection between food and the soil it's grown in.  He founded the popular Organic Gardening and Prevention magazines, and his legacy continues both on the farm and in print.  Little did I realize, as a kid, that the well-used copy of Square Foot Gardening that seemed to be ever-present in our home, was a product of this company.  For years, I've trusted Rodale Press when it comes to nutrition and organic gardening resources. 

A few weeks ago, J.I.'s granddaughter, Maria Rodale, blogged that this is the most important year ever to start a garden, likening the realization to Noah's calling to build an ark.  Multiple news sources are reporting forecasts of higher food costs, and all the old reasons to grow what you can still apply...

So, if you're looking for gardening guidance, here are a couple of book suggestions from Rodale: 
  1. Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening: A Beginner's Guide to Starting a Healthy Garden

    This paperback is currently $13.81 on Amazon, where it qualifies for free shipping with a Prime membership.

    You can also get this book directly from Rodale (for $19.99) and receive "Time Saving Tools and Tricks" as a bonus.  Preview the book for free for 21 days or pay up front and avoid the shipping charge.

  2. Rodale's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening: The Indispensable Green Resource for Every Gardener
