Doug Green
Organic Gardening
Organic gardening is based on cutting edge research and scientific developments. There's nothing back-to-the-landish or hippy-tie-dye about these systems. They're based on research, field trials and countless numbers of practical reports.
My objective however is to separate the fact from the fiction and to deliver workable ways for you to garden naturally and effectively.
As a background – I ran my nursery for over 20 years using organic systems. I did it before it became popular and trendy and before the research really starting hitting the mainstream press about the noxious chemicals that were changing our lives. Been there, done that.
Doug is an award winning garden author gardening on an island in Lake Ontario and spending his winters living a city life in the South (where he visits gardens rather than weeding them) He's written 8 books, and runs 9 websites.
