cant wait for your book. very exciting for you
Good luck with your book Huw …
I just want to ask you .. how many hours you read in a day ?!
Didn't see anything for people outside the UK in your video description, did I miss something?
Hi Huw! I also have a garden and my 3 favourite books about gardening/homesteading are 1) Gaia's Garden by Toby Hemenway; 2) Teaming with Microbes by Wayne Lewis; 3) Ringing Cedars of Russia series by Vladimir Megre (not quite about gardening, but about nature and more harmonic way of life, I personally found it very inspiring). Thank you for your wonderful and also very inspiring videos!
So excited for YOUR book!!
Our 3 books:
One Straw Revolution – Masanobu Fukuoka
Gaia's Garden – Toby Hemenway
Medicinal Plants – Wolfgang Hensel
Can it & ferment it
Storey’s guide to Raising Pig
Backyard foraging
Charles Dowding's Vegetable Garden Diary full of advice on when to sow plant and harvest,
advice on no dig gardening which I highly recomend as a method of gardening for people with limited mobilty. His YouTube vidioes are very informative, he also has ebooks available on Kindle
Gardening books are THE BEST!
Taking Huw's lead and stretching the 3 book suggestion…..
Jackie French Backyard self sufficiency
The Australian Fruit and Vegetable Garden Clive Blazey
Gaia's Garden Toby Hemmenway
Louis Glowinski The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia
And the series of booklets produced by The Koanga Institute in NZ.
Plus
One Magic Square Lolo Houbein
Square Foot Gardening Mel Bartholemew
The Earth User's guide to Permaculture Ro Morrow.
And I suspect I'll be adding the 2 Highly Commended books mentioned by Huw as well.
🙂
3 books I like are aimed at permaculture. The complete book of edible landscaping, Gaia's garden, and Edible Landscaping with a permaculture twist
I have watched 5 or so of the videos in the collab, and your choices are my favorites. I love that you featured 2 of Charles Dowdings books, he is amazing, great expert, author, wonderful YT channel and a very nice man who takes the time to answer comments and give advice. Also love the you have a Geoff Hamilton book and I am going to look for the other veg and herb book you suggest. Thank you, Huw! P.s. i dont own any of them, but other books I would like to have are by Geoffrey Smith. I adore the Mr. Smith Gardens videos.
Good choices Huw. The Veg & Herb Expert is on my list too.
Steve
The book that got me started so many years ago..Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew a gift from my brother I treasure. My bible/work horse/problem solver is Rosales Illustrated Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. And finally The $64 Tomato by William Alexander as it just sings to my heart and the great lengths those of us who are garden obsessed will go to! Been a fan of your channel for over a year and TY for introducing me to Liz’s channel via your recent video and this collaboration has further expanded my enjoyment of more channels to check out.
1. Gaia's Garden – Toby Hemenway
2. Permaculture – Sepp Holzer
3. Restoration Agriculture – Mark Shepard
Hi Huw, Newnes Home Management vol 1 & 2, vol 1 gardening section has been read numerous times since childhood, Expert Gardener & supplement pest diseases since childhood, recently Charles Dowding salad leaves for all seasons. ( have bought Curtis Stone and the Market Gardener specifically for starting business in growing veg) Are you going to do review of your poly tunnel with the green and clear cover? Keep up the good work come rain or shine. Dai Iawn
The three most useful books for me are Charles Dowding's Veg Journal, How To Grow World Record Tomatoes by Charles H. Willber, Texas Organic Vegetable Gardening.
Carrots Love Tomatoes by Louise Riotte
Homegrown Pantry by Barbara Pleasant
Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof
first I hope it's a best seller sir great news 🙂 my three books to suggest would be the square foot method , Lasagna gardening and back to basics all are packed with great tips and you can combine them as well 🙂 Good luck to the winners
Morning, dropped over from Bythers Farm. Saw you helping Liz and enjoyed watching you.
If Liz gives you flack for 4 books, remind her of when she threw a duck into the chicken breed collaboration! I actually found your channel through your collaboration with Liz's turkeys to haul wood chips. Those guys kept you in line!
Hello! Love this collab, it's fun seeing everyone fav books. Good book choices 🙂
I have old books, usually by the RHS, I hope you can add me to your list of candidates. I would love the Charles Dowding book on growing winter vegetables 🙂
Nice choices! My 3 books would be:
Allotment month by month (DK) – for a general, cover-all reference book. It is great to have it done chronologically too – makes it practical to know what to do when!
Grow your own vegetables by Joy Larkcom – but more dense but full of so much information and love for growing veg – really inspiring!
Grow for Flavour by James Wong – one of the joys of growing your own veg is growing something you can't buy in the shop, or just having it taste so much better. This gives some great hints and tips.
I do love Charles Dowding too!
Hi Huw. Thank you so very much for the book recommendations. Charles Dowding’s , Growing Winter Vegetables, is also one of my top gardening books!
I'd like to add The market Gardener by Jean-Martin Fortier, surprised nobody mentioned Oriental Vegetables by Joy Larkom (any book by her is great btw) and another great one is Myceleum running by Paul Stamets. There are lots more for instance Epic Tomatoes by Craig le Houllier and The new Organic Grower Eliot Coleman. You did 4 I '5'ish.
Eliot Coleman's Winter Harvest Handbook was my bible for winter food and John Seymour's Self Sufficiency started me on this path. Goodness me Huw, your contribution to this collaboration is streets ahead of the others (followed closely by Liz, of course). Articulate and professional as always
Square foot gardening, lasagna gardening, and mini farming
You gotta check out the apple lovers cookbook!! It is an american book as the apple varities are here not grown in the uk, but it goes over all about the different types and their flavor profile, what they are good used in and then it has a ton of amazing recipes. I have tried a bunch and am so impressed with this book!!
Huw, I do I order your new book " The Vegetable Grower's Handbook: Unearth Your Gardens Full Potential!". I'm trying to order from the States and would prefer going through you… Thank you for your great work!
