The Beginner Gardener Booklet is a comprehensive guide to take you step by step through establishing a new garden from scratch. This booklet begins with a quiz that helps you with making decisions about your garden and getting organised. The best times of year for starting a garden are listed, with instructions month by month so you’re totally ready when the time for planting comes around. The information provided is based on Kay’s life journey in the garden and will save you a lot of simple mistakes in the beginning so you already have a head start in getting some good food production. Kay guides you through using a 40m2 Biointensive model which is both time and space efficient. This simple system teaches beginners and not-so-beginners, how to systematically improve soil and grow nutrient-dense vegetables, in an efficient way. Whether you follow this exact model or another of your choice, this booklet will give you the confidence you need to move forward. Pages: 40, printed and bound in NZ So you’re interested in beginning a garden, congratulations! If you have a bit of extra space in your backyard or on your balcony, growing your own food is an awesome idea and will save you some money long term too! Kay Baxter I believe so strongly in supporting the work Kay and the team have done for Aotearoa, that I am donating all profits from the sale of Koanga seeds and publications straight back to them, as an acknowledgement of the hard work they have done for our community over the past 30 years!
