Art of Natural Farming and Gardening by Ralph & Rita Engelken

In this book, Engelken explains why and how he started farming organically and why this issue of how we treat the soil is of such great importance to everyone, not only for food producers but consumers as well. Engelken details his methods he uses, with special emphasis on large-scale composting, to grow crops that not only match but exceed other farmers who use chemicals. This book is the story of how one man did well by doing right. As a leader in the natural farming movement, the success of Ralph Engleken can serve as a shinning example for others who wish to be part of reestablishing a sane and sustainable way of agriculture.
