Good Organic Gardening Magazine Issue March/April #4.6 Edição anterior

A bumper issue in time for the cooler autumn months and horticulturists Jennifer Stackhouse, Melissa King and Claire Bickle tell us about all that’s happening in the garden at this time of year.

Jennifer discloses why Feijoa (also pineapple guava) and aloe vera are clever crops and also gives the low-down on what to do in the garden during March and April. Melissa uncovers the delights of heirloom olives as well as gives advice for planting lettuce and rocket. And Claire tells about how to group edibles that have similar needs. Stone-fruit trees are our subject for Plant Profile with gorgeous photos and expert advice.

The Grapevine, compiled by Jo Immig, lets us know some resources we can access and need to dig deep into the fertile soil of our minds to reconnect to the creativity that will help us adapt to the changes that lie ahead as our planet changes.

We introduce our new contributor, Erina Starkey, who has some innovative ideas, suitable for every garden, for staking plants. While Megg Miller reveals all about the charming Muscovy duck - the gardeners’ friend.

Learn how to deal with snails and slugs. They can be deterred, trapped or disposed of safely without reaching for chemical pellets – see how in our Pest Patrol feature.

And, in our popular From Garden to Table section, discover how to grow, harvest, preserve and cook cabbage, beetroot and eggplant with recipes from The Organic Chef, Joanna Rushton. And, as a special report, Jo discloses all we need to know about eggs: why organic eggs are superior. An issue not to be missed!
