Bio-Dynamic Gardening: Grow a Garden and Be Self-Sufficient
By E. Pfeiffer and Erika Riese

This Bio-dynamic gardening text, first published over fifty years ago, seems more pertinent today than ever with the growing interest in healthy fresh grown food and the increasing concern about irreparable damage done to the environment by non-organic gardening and agricultural practices. Written by two pioneers in Bio-Dynamic agriculture, Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and Erika Riese, this book contains many valuable insights gained from years of  experience working with the symbiotic relationships within a Bio-dynamic gardening system.

Their concern for the environment and for providing healthy nutrition is evident in their writing, as is their intention to develop a highly productive garden using non-exploitative methods.

The book was written during the time of World War II when considerable effort was put into creating efficient means of conservation of natural and economic resources, and the home garden was one such measure.  Yet in combining concerns for productivity, healthful nutrition and the balance of the environment, they created what is still today the ideal manual for the gardener, both for the private individual and the market grower.
