  1. Teaming with microbes! Opens a whole new world! This breaks down the science of how nutrients are cycled organically and the different organisms that make it work. It's all a symbiotic relationship. Learn the science and you'll grow good crops! @theorganicpharmer on Instagram if you have any questions! Keep on growing folks!

  2. Charles Dowding has written 9 books. He's in the UK and so some of his content is probably leaning more towards the UK climate and his soil conditions. But he has many You Tube videos on his methods which are in keeping with the no dig method and minimal interruption of the soil. Just a thought Curtis. 🙂

  3. I agree on your picks although I ended up donating my "Grow More Vegetables…" away. Another favorite of mine is Gaias Garden by the late Toby Hemenway. I've reread it more times than I can count. I guess my second is Jean-Martin Fortier Market Gardening too. That is another I frequently reread. I must buy your book now as I didn't know you had one!

  4. Gais Garden – Toby Hemingway – homescale permaculture type growing but there are things in there that can be applied commercially.
    No Dig – Charles Dowding
    Yours and JM!
    Growing Green – Iain Tollhurst – UK grower that focuses on green manures and stock free growing.
    One that I haven't read but want to is Intelligent Gardener, forgot author name, about balancing nutrients in soil. I suppose on that front, soil books also, like teeming with microbes etc 🙂

  5. Curtis! I have a question.. do you know of any books that include wild farming AND wild foraging in the same book cover to cover? I have a bushcraft camp ready to be tilled.

  6. Hello friend, which book would be most relevant in a zone 3 environment? Im in Winnipeg and the season is short here.

    I already have your book and want a book that has more information about extending the season.

    Thanks.

  7. Good book list. One guy I like is Charles Dowding from England. He does no dig backyard farming. Got a YouTube Chanel by the same name and published around 7 books.

  8. Great job Curtis. I have some finances in place and planning to move to Kelowna from Calgary, Antarctica. Sorry, Alberta:). Would you say there is enough market or would you see others as competition? Thanks and keep it up!

  9. Sir I have empty space.. At Backside of house.. Its just. Like basketball court…
    I w at to grow my own vegetables and fruits..
    Can you tell me the best books.. To farming

  10. Hi can someone give me a clue – I'd like to buy Curtis' book on urban farming. Now there's a canadian and a usa version – what's the difference? Is it in the use of miles and feet and yards and meters and so on? I'm from Germany so I'm used to the metric system… would one of those versions be preferable? Thanks to anyone who knows 😉 Love your work Curtis! Thank you!!
