Organic Gardening for Everyone
Cool Springs Press (Verlag)
978-0-7603-6534-2 (ISBN)
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.
CaliKim is an organic gardener, and helps gardeners all over the world learn how to grow their own food in a quick, simple, and inexpensive way through her enormously popular YouTube channel, CaliKim Garden & Home. Join CaliKim and her husband, Jerry, also known as CameraGuy, in their Southern California urban organic garden. They share garden how-tos, tips, and healthy garden-to-table recipes. CaliKim loves to try new things in the garden, so there are always surprises along the way. She is a brand spokesperson for Smart Pots, frequent lecturer, and operates an online store through her website where she sells proprietary, branded garden products produced in joint ventures with major garden suppliers. She is the author of Organic Gardening for Everyone and The First-Time Gardener: Raised Bed Gardening by Cool Springs Press as well as several self-published eBooks.
