Test Your Soil With Plants (2nd Edition) - Ebook
(formerly Booklet 29 - now revised and expanded!)

By John Beeby

2013, 168 pp.

Test Your Soil With Plants For thousands of years, farmers were able to predict the agricultural value of land by observing the plants that grow on it. This book shows you how to optimize your garden's health and productivity, simply by observing the plants growing in your garden. Learn what natural fertilizers lead to best garden health. Fully revised and updated edition. Includes color photos.

"Notice the number of different kinds of plants growing in that soil, perhaps some so small and inconspicuous you have to get down on your hands and knees to see, perhaps others that tower above you. Realize that each one of those plants, and every plant, speaks of the conditions in which it grows. The language it speaks can only be seen, not heard. Through its presence, form, color and vigor, each plant describes - in general or very specific terms - the moisture, acidity, nutrient content, and other conditions of the soil. The simple fact that a particular plant is growing there is telling you something about that soil. The fact that the plant is stunted and its growing tips are withered is telling you something. The fact that its color is a deep green, but it seems not to be vigorous, is telling you somethings. Now, take a look at that little patch of ground and plants again, and imagine the hundred, maybe thousands, of pieces if information that are being communicated to you! " - From the Introduction

Ecology Action's 52-Week Garden Planning Chart

By: Ecology Action Staff, 2023, ~100 Microsoft Excel worksheet pages plus key and notes. Price: $5.00

To keep track of everything, the Ecology Action FTT team uses our detailed 52-Week Planning Chart for each growing bed, which is laid out in three horizontal fields across the weeks of the year, to create schedules for Fall, Spring, and Catch-Crop seasons. It’s easy to use: you just look at what needs to be done in a given week, and the schedule has already been set up (optimally, you do this for the entire year the previous August). This type of long-term planning becomes possible when you work with your garden for several years and keep good records so you know what works, what doesn't, and when repetitive tasks need to be done each season. This is a template for you to use and adjust for your own garden. Best for experienced mini-farmers.

Growing a Living Fence
David Troxell, 2022, 8 pp., 3.66MB PDF

Years ago, we received a copy of the book Hedgerow as a gift from a friend. The lovely writing and beautiful illustrations struck a chord deep within us and inspired us to think about creating hedgerows in our own gardens. With the book as an inspiration, EA Communications Director David Troxell used his extensive experience in landscape and garden design to plan our hedge, which we hope to establish at The Jeavons Center over the course of several years; Booklet 43 is an outline of that plan.

Experimental 33-Bed GROW BIOINTENSIVE Mini-Farm - Growing Complete Fertility, Nutrition and Income

This booklet is our newest plan, based upon 40 years of solid research, for growing all your food, compost and a modest income on a little as 3,300 sq ft of growing beds. This is based on conservative intermediate-level GROW BIOINTENSIVE yields. It has been designed for longer growing season areas with warmer nights, as opposed to Booklet 14, and similarly uses a 3-bed plan as its basis, which can then be scaled up to a full mini-farm. Contains delicious recipes based on the crops grown.

 

   


Booklet 37

Energy Use in Biointensive Food Production
Steve Moore, 2013, 29 pp Price: $3.00


Among the benefits potential for the Biointensive Sustainable Mini-Farming method are higher yields, lower water consumption, less fertilizer. It is fairly straightforward to weigh produce, measure water use, and keep track of fertilizers. It is not so easy to evaluate the total input of energy in farming systems.

Steve Moore, director of the Agroecology Program at Elon University in North Carolina, has been investigating this particular aspect of the Biointensive system. His new booklet in the EA Self-Teaching Mini-Series, Energy Use in Biointensive Food Production, evaluates the different forms of energy that contribute to food production. They include the calories of labor, the calories embedded in the tools we use, and the calories used in getting the food to our plates—processing and preserving. Two crops, onions and flour corn, serve to illustrate how the use of energy is calculated with as little as 6% the energy being used in biologically intensive practices compared with conventional ones.

Be sure to check out the energy efficiencies of fermentation food preservation, including Sauerkraut!

GROW BIOINTENSIVE®: A Global Pattern for Feeding the World
A 46-Year Perspective and A Plan for the Next Decade

Mary Zellachild, 2019, 11 pp Price: $1.00


This is the first "Perspective" booklet EA has written since 1989. Looking back at the earlier perspectives,
it's rewarding to see the progress made. The fact that the GB system is being used successfully in 152 countries worldwide in diverse climates and soils, and that the demand for the training is still so high, leads us to believe that our 46 years of work are being very beneficial. More importantly, it gives us hope that GB can be an integral solution everyone can use to have the healthy food, and the healthy lifestyle they deserve—while living in balance with the Earth! By remaining flexible, while giving our best efforts towards strengthening our programs and advocating for the GB system globally and locally, we believe we are helping the most people catalyze an improved life for themselves!


Mary Zellachild, former Communications Director for Ecology Action provides us with this excellent summary of work to date and plans for the future.

Ultra: Accelerated Learning and Teaching Approach
By John Jeavons, with Shannon Joyner
2023, 45 pp., ~3.5MB PDF

The accelerating challenges we face—individually and globally—means more people than ever will need the skill to grow fertile soil, grow abundant nutritious food, grow an income, and be a functioning and beneficial part of their community. To address this need, John Jeavons developed the “Ultra: Accelerated Learning and Teaching Approach” booklet as part of an initiative to train as many people as possible to become GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Closed-Loop Sustainable Mini-Farming practitioners in
a 6-week to 6-month period. The goal of this initiative is for each 6-week to 6-month Ultra Trainee to have the equivalent of a 3-year Ecology Action Apprentice’s perspective and grasp, although not all technical information on the GROW BIOINTENSIVE method.

The purpose of this booklet is to provide a foundation for people training to use GROW BIOINTENSIVE (GB) as they learn to work with nature, to create solutions to the challenges facing us, and to thrive as individuals and as a part of the whole. It is not intended to provide training in the day-to-day techniques—which can be learned from the books, courses, and internships offered by Ecology Action and its partners around the world (although a brief introduction to the Eight Essential Elements of GROW BIOINTENSIVE is provided in Part 2, and the Data Sheets in Part 4 are the same as those used by all GB practitioners to learn to work with their garden efficiently). Instead, it is intended to provide a feel for the experiential and conceptual understanding of the philosophical and even what might be called a spiritual (or deep subconscious) connection with the seasons, cycles, and choices that a seasoned gardener develops over time, and which beginning practitioners of the GB method sometime struggle to understand.

The Negative Tolerance Buildup Effect and a
Positive Transformation
By John Jeavons, with Shannon Joyner
2023, 9 pp., ~1MB PDF

“Negative Tolerance” is a system’s capacity to tolerate the negative effects of system variables not functioning correctly. Currently, we are seeing a “negative tolerance buildup ” involving five major variables that impact the functioning of the systems that support human life on our planet. Booklet 45 explores awareness of these imbalances in our global system, and how GROW BIOINTENSIVE® (GB) Closed-Loop Sustainable Mini-Farming provides a solution to all five of the challenges to our system’s balanced functioning: Soil, Water, Energy, Nutrients, and Overpopulation.
