Lena Israelsson's Handbok för köksträdgården was first published in 2000 and immediately became indispensable for all vegetable growers - professionals and home growers alike.
Here is now a completely revised, expanded and up-to-date edition with newly written chapters and updated varieties, facts and cultivation methods. The basis for this new edition is new research findings, but also the experiences that Lena Israelsson and other growers have made in recent years. The book provides knowledge about all forms of organic cultivation of kitchen plants, in garden land for self-catering, in the pallet collars of villa gardens, in all kinds of urban gardens, on balconies and patios. Gone are the days when growing kitchen plants was described as a trend. We are now on the way to becoming a growing nation and there are plenty of skilled vegetable growers.
Practically all kitchen plants that can be grown in Sweden are presented: vegetables, herbs and berries. But now they are described with even more factual information and with new, hot variety tips. This also applies to the berry chapter, which has been expanded with several exciting plants. The book provides new knowledge about everything from biochar, the bokashi compost method and killer snails to the magical collaborative project that goes on underground and is called mycorrhiza. In the chapter on planning, permaculture has been given the place it deserves with ideas for planning all forms of utilitarian cultivation. Autumn and winter cultivation has been given its own chapter. By choosing the right plants and methods, you can grow twice as long.
The new Handbook for the kitchen garden is hopefully not only a handbook, but also a book of inspiration, a book that whets the appetite and smells of earth.
