Book: Gardening for the Future of The Earth
By: Howard-Yana Shapiro and John Harrisson
Published by: Seeds of Change
This is a book for us gardening fanatics. The hard core
philosophy can be summarized pretty well by the following
quote:
Bill Mollison once asked me what i would do if i was
appointed emperor of the United States for one day.
My answer was simple: I would issue a decree stating
if you don't garden, you pay a huge tax.
This is a little to simplistic for me but with a few
changes it could be implemented. Encouraging landowners
to garden would not be a bad thing.
The book is based on the work of:
Bill Mollison Alan York
John Jeavons Alan Kapuler
Masanobu Fukuoka Wes Jackson
Some other quotes from the book that are interesting:
Keep it small, and keep it varied.
-- Mollisons "Golden Rule" of garden design
Never, no never, did Nature say one thing and
wisdom another -- Edmund burke
The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human
zoo -- Desmond Morris
They're making more people every day but they ain't
making no more dirt. -- Will Rodgers
The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.
-- Franklin D. Roosevelt
Nobody can be in good health if he does not have all
the TIME, fresh AIR, SUNSHINE, and good WATER.
-- Flying Hawk
If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can
make the world safe for diversity. For in the final
analysis, our most common basic link is that we inhabit
this small planet. -- John F. Kennedy
