A revised guide to intensive, biointensive food growing

John Jeavons’s ninth edition presents biointensive organic gardening as a way to raise edible crops in limited space while attending to soil fertility, compost, water use, and natural growing cycles. Its scope extends beyond vegetables to fruits, nuts, berries, grains, and other crops, making it a broad reference for productive home plots as well as smaller commercial operations. Revised throughout, this edition adds material on reducing water use by 12 percent and strengthening compost’s role in the garden. The book centers practical cultivation around the connected health of soil, plants, and the wider backyard ecosystem.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home gardeners growing food in compact spaces
  • Gardeners interested in organic, water-conscious cultivation
  • Small-scale producers seeking to build soil fertility and plant productivity

Book overview

The world's leading resource on biointensive, sustainable, high-yield organic gardening is thoroughly updated throughout, with new sections on using 12 percent less water and increasing compost power.

Long before it was a trend, How to Grow More Vegetables brought backyard ecosystems to life for the home gardener by demonstrating sustainable growing methods for spectacular organic produce on a small but intensive scale. How to Grow More Vegetables has become the go-to reference for food growers at every level, whether home gardeners dedicated to nurturing backyard edibles with minimal water in maximum harmony with nature's cycles, or a small-scale commercial producer interested in optimizing soil fertility and increasing plant productivity. In the ninth edition, author John Jeavons has revised and updated each chapter, including new sections on using less water and increasing compost power.
