Over the years, I have written many magazine articles and one book on gardening based on my experiences as a small-scale organic market gardener. Pretty much all of that is out of print and unavailable on paper. Some of it, much to my regret, I no longer own copyright to. One needs to be paid even when a lusty legal battle could have made more money in the long run. But that's all in the past and here you will find links to a number of pieces and I will gradually add more as time passes.
| The Git's Guide to Gardening | The Pompous Git's Guide to Gardening, the Universe and Everything! His latest book in progress. |
| Clove Encounters -- Garlic: Its Production and Use | A short booklet about growing garlic in Tasmania. |
| Farming for Fertility | An unpublished (and unfinished) short book intended to assist farmers contemplating adoption of organic farming technologies whether they intended converting to certifiable organic, or just improve their farming. |
| Biointensive Gardening | A very short piece written in 1991 on John Jeavons' Biointensive gardening system and converting your garden to organic. |
| Small-scale Market Gardening | Two articles that originally appeared in the short-lived Organic Update magazine. The "tickle-weeder" was a new idea back in 1992. |
