Overview

No Time to Grow? is an invaluable guide which shows how with good planning, organisation and a little patience, the smallest piece of ground can be worked to make a significant contribution to a healthy diet. The philosophy is always that it is better to give it a go and produce something than not try and to produce nothing. The author sets out to demonstrate ways of working and thinking to enable the production of a relatively large amount of fruit and vegetables with minimal time investment. Using organic principles throughout, the book takes the reader from some general principles of low effort gardening, through clearing the land the easy way, establishing a basic cropping plan, to expanding it and making that plan sustainable. It also includes suggestions on the easiest ways of growing a wide selection of vegetables and fruit. These sections are complemented with a brief review of poultry keeping and a selection of recipes to use some of the garden's produce. No Time to Grow? sets out to provide a unique approach to back yard food production viewing the activity as an integrated whole rather than a list of separate crops to produce.

Author Information

For the last 20 years Tim Wootton has lived, worked and gardened in South Somerset, experiencing the constant challenge, common to most would be self-supporters, of trying to balance the desire for independent food production with a demanding working life and family commitments. This is a distillation of the experiences gained over this time: the results of a little research and a lot of experimentation.
