One Magic Square : The Easy, Organic Way to Grow Your Own Food on a 3-Foot Square
By: Houbein, Lolo (Author).
Experiment. Published: 01/02/2010. Audience Guide: General (US: Trade). Paperback. Sourced from U.S.A.
While books and films bemoaning the ethical and sustainability short-comings of global food sources abound, Lolo Houbein offers a charming and "practical" response: instructions for turning one square yard of soil into a nourishing, inexpensive, and earth-friendly source of produce right at home. Filled with illustrated plans for each plot, environmentally friendly pest control solutions and more, "One Magic Square" is the all-inclusive gardening book every gardener needs. It even includes Houbein's family recipes! But most of all, "One Magic Square" stands out because of its personal and social urgency. Along with her childhood story of famine and environmental desolation in Nazi-occupied Holland, and mounting concerns over crop monopolies and fragile ecosystems, Lolo Houbein has taken her 60+ years of home food growing experience and created a welcome and needed guide to practicing what we preach about ethical and sustainable food.
