John Jeavons wrote the organic gardening classic "How to Grow More Vegetables Than You can Imagine on Less Land than You thought Possible." Back in the 70's. I have been using his ideas in my garden ever since. Knowing the knowledge base contained in this forum, I'd be surprised if some of you don't already know about his work. His Biointensive method of gardening is a melding of the French Intensive and Biodynamic theories of gardening. Jeavons book is a great resource, not only of theory, but tables and charts, etc. He's been doing research on this particular method for about 40 years. I think his ideas can be adapted to anyone's system of gardening. Just posting this as a resource in case anyone's interested. His new editions contains tons of data and results from his decades of experimenting. Here are some web links:
