A Grower’s Guide

Often overlooked by both home and market gardeners, the right farm and garden tools are essential for cultivating success. Vegetable Garden Tools: A Grower’s Guide will help you select the appropriate equipment for your unique situation, drawing on “The Fortier Method.” This method, developed by Jean-Martin Fortier, is a proven formula for successful, small-scale, high-yield microfarming.

This highly accessible, succinct, and beautifully illustrated full-color handbook features:
u Recommendations for garden tools and implements for every stage of cultivation — from soil preparation and sowing to planting, crop maintenance, and harvesting. u A focus on “low-tech” hand tools that are inexpensive, sustainable, and allow for working the soil while respecting biodiversity. These tools increase productivity and efficiency, and improve ergonomics. u Detailed information on the function, benefits, and operation of each piece of equipment, accompanied by over 100 explanatory drawings.
u Specific advice and tips to get the most out of your garden tools and farm equipment, whether you are using them in a family garden or on a diversified market farm.
