Download or read book The Market Gardener written by Jean-Martin Fortier and published by New Society Publisher. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grow better not bigger with proven low-tech, human-scale, biointensive farming methods Making a living wage farming without big capital outlay or acreages may be closer than you think. Growing on just 1.5 acres, Jean-Martin and Maude-Helene feed more than 200 families through their thriving CSA and seasonal market stands. The secret of their success is the low-tech, high-yield production methods they've developed by focusing on growing better rather than growing bigger, making their operation more lucrative and viable in the process. The Market Gardener is a compendium of proven horticultural techniques and innovative growing methods. This complete guide is packed with practical information on: Setting-up a micro-farm by designing biologically intensive cropping systems, all with negligible capital outlay; Farming without a tractor and minimizing fossil fuel inputs through the use of the best hand tools, appropriate machinery and minimum tillage practices; Growing mixed vegetables systematically with attention to weed and pest management, crop yields, harvest periods and pricing approaches. Inspired by the French intensive tradition of maraichage and by iconic American vegetable grower Eliot Coleman, author and farmer Jean-Martin shows by example how to start a market garden and make it both very productive and profitable.

Download or read book The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower's Handbook written by Andrew Mefferd and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower's Handbook shares best practices for both large- and small-scale production of the eight most profitable crops - tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, leafy greens, lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Every year, more growers are turning to protected culture to deal with unpredictable weather and to meet out-of-season demand for local food, but many end up spinning their wheels, wasting time and money on unprofitable crops grown in ways that don't make the most of their precious greenhouse space. This book levels the playing field with decision-making framework that goes beyond a list of simple dos and don'ts. With comprehensive chapters on temperature control and crop steering, pruning and trellising, grafting, and more, Andrew Meffer's book is full of techniques and strategies that can help farms stay profitable, satisfy customers, and become an integral part of relocalizing our food system. From seed to sale, this book is the indispensable resource for protected growing.--COVER.
Book Synopsis Comparative Performance Analysis by : Bernd Maier
Download or read book Comparative Performance Analysis written by Bernd Maier and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greenhouse industry in southern New Mexico has seen considerable growth in the last ten years. In 1989, about 50 acres of greenhouses were in operation in southern New Mexico. Factors influencing this growth included a favorable climate and low cost labor and land. There were 117 acres of greenhouses in the United States growing cucumbers in 1988. None of this acreage was in New Mexico. Although greenhouse vegetables are not produced in New Mexico at the current time, several growers from Holland and California have expressed interest. The interest stems from the belief that if southern New Mexico is competitive in producing greenhouse cut flowers and potted plants, it should also be a desirable location for vegetables, particularly cucumbers, which are highly responsive to light. This hypothesis was tested by comparing production costs for greenhouse cucumbers in southern New Mexico with 10 potential competing areas in the United States. The comparative cost analysis included truck delivery to 20 selected metropolitan market areas. The combination of abundant sunlight, low heating requirements, and competitive land and labor markets allowed Las Cruces, New Mexico and Tucson, Arizona, to be the lowest cost production sites. Production costs were estimated at $9.84 per box for Tucson and $9.93 for Las Cruces. East Coast and Midwest production site costs ranged from 14 to 48 percent greater. When transportation charges are included, Las Cruces can offer product to every market to the east of Las Cruces at the lowest price, while Tucson has the advantage in West Coast markets. Based on the information developed, it can be concluded that southern New Mexico is a favorable location for the production of greenhouse cucumbers.

Loaded with practical advice and step-by-step guidance, Organic Gardening for Everyone takes a very personal and friendly approach to a subject that can be intimidating. It is a first-class primer on organic vegetable gardening, and an inspirational story about how anyone can balance the rigors of gardening with the demands of a modern, family-oriented lifestyle. In 2012, a California mom decided to start an organic vegetable garden. But she went about it in an unusual way: she crowdsourced it by launching a YouTube channel under the name "CaliKim" and asking for help. And then she started planting. As questions came up, she turned to her viewers and subscribers and they replied with answers and advice. As she learned, her garden grew successfully—even in the hot, harsh California climate. Her expertise also grew, and now she answers many more questions than she asks and has become a very accomplished home gardener. And CaliKim has a great story to tell: growing healthy organic vegetables for your family is not difficult, even for today’s time-challenged lifestyles. She provides complete step-by-step information on growing the most popular edibles organically, and also gives sound advice on how to take on the challenges of balancing a hectic lifestyle with successful growing—and how to involve the whole family in the process. You'll be rewarded for your effort every time you place a plate of natural, organic vegetables on the family dinner table knowing exactly what they are, what is in them, and where they came from.

At long last, a book everyday people can read to understand the state's biggest industry."—Louis Warren, University of California, Davis
