Riassunto

First published in 1986, this classic is back in print by popular demand. It is the authoritative text on edible landscaping, featuring a step-by-step guide to designing a productive environment using vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs for a combination of ornamental and culinary purposes.

It includes descriptions of plants for all temperate habitats, methods for improving soil, tree pruning styles, and gourmet recipes using low-maintenance plants. There are sections on attracting beneficial insects with companion plants and using planting to shelter your home from erosion, heat, wind, and cold.

Recensione

This highly original and eminently readable work will be very useful to novice as well as experienced gardeners and professionals interested in edible landscaping. --Robert Woolley, Nurseryman

Designing And Maintaining Your Edible Landscape Naturally by Robert Kourik is my all time favorite gardening book. Even if you don't have an edible landscape it contains a wealth of information, for landscapes, orchards, and vegetable gardens. Instead of focusing on one particular gardening style, he covers many different schools of thought and practices. Check this one out, I am sure you will enjoy it. --Harvest McCampbell

It s an excellent manual for designing and maintaining a garden that incorporates both ornamental and edible trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. At 400 pages, this book covers every issue that may arise in your garden! Kourik offers only organic methods - a must when you re planting edible plants shoulder-to-shoulder with, for instance, roses - and he dispels many myths, too. The book includes a foreword by Rosalind Creasy, well known for her own edible/ornamental garden. --Meghan Shinn on www.hortmag.com
