Gardening on the Edge
Recommended Resources

Thanks so much for visiting my Recommended Resources page. This dynamic page will grow and change over time, reflecting the latest research and products in organic gardening, new or heirloom vegetable, herb and fruit varieties, food safety, food security and a bunch of other topics I hope you'll find fascinating. Enjoy!

Container Gardening Supplies
Clean Air Gardening - an amazing variety of products for your eco-conscious organic container garden (and lots of stuff for bigger gardens too - tell your friends!)

Dave's Gardening Garden Watchdog - this is an incredible resource - a database of gardening related suppliers actually rated based on members' experiences. Seed companies, plant suppliers, fertilizers sales - you name it, it's here.

Ecoforms - lightweight plant pots made from recycled grain husks. And they're much better looking than the majority of plastic pots out there.

Gardenrite - PotToes and PotLevels - a MUST for any container garden.

Compost & Fertilizers
How to Compost.org - links to just about every site on composting and composting products you'll ever need for your container garden (and your bigger garden should you ever have one!)

World's Best Compost - Make the world's ultimate natural fertilizer, colloidal humus, without bins, turning or odor. You can't do it on a deck or patio, but if you've got friends or neighbours with a yard and a bit of space they could lend, I highly recommend this method to create super high quality compost for your container garden next season.

Food Gardening Guides & Manuals
How To Grow Juicy Tasty Tomatoes - If you love tomatoes and want to grow your own successfully, you need this guide. It's the most comprehensive manual on the subject I've ever read, including all the 'secrets' you'll ever need to grow tasty organic tomatoes - and it's written by world authority (from Australia) who advises professional growers.

A Practical Guide to Using & Growing Herbs - A complete guide to using and growing your own herbs (downloadable ebook).

Pests
Daves Garden Bug Files - photos of just about every garden bug imaginable - for identifying what you're dealing with, good and bad.

Urban Food Information Resources
City Farmer - a huge number of fun, informative articles on a wide variety of gardening topics. From food security to rainbarrels and everything in between, the City Farmer site has it all.

One Straw Society - All about urban food security. Much of the information is specific to the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, but some is transferable. Lots of good links.

Zone Hardiness Maps
Australia
United States & Canada
United States - very detailed zone maps for the US
