Eco-logical Farming Handbook

Reduce Costs - Boost Production


Stop Burning Money on Inputs. Let Nature Do the Heavy Lifting.

GrowMap Handbook

Wouldn't it be great to grow plants that look after themselves?


We can grow strong, healthy, and self-sufficient plants by better understanding our growing conditions and then choosing plants that grow well in these conditions.

Using the steps detailed in this Handbook, you'll easily collect the information you need to understand and map the growing conditions across your land, and add the information to your existing farm plan.

Diving deep with tape measures and surveying equipment is unnecessary. Everyone can get involved, whether drawing the patterns of sun and shade, exploring where the water flows, or looking changes in your soil.

Living Mulch

Tired Of Mulching? Grow Mulch Right Where You Need It


How much money and energy do you waste every year spreading mulch—only to watch it break down and disappear?

Traditional mulch is useful, but spreading it is not the easiest, cheapest, or best thing to do. Living mulch frees up our time. By using a strategic mix of perennial and self-seeding ground cover plants, you grow mulch - right where it's needed. Living mulch creates a lush, self-sustaining ground cover that reduces weed pressure and improves soil health naturally. It saves time and money, eliminating the need for annual mulching.

This Handbook includes:

* Beginner’s Starter Guide: A simple step-by-step way to establish your first living mulch cover.
* Advanced techniques: Designed to transform your living mulch into a robust food production system.
* 90 + Plant Species Profiles: Carefully selected living mulch species to help you choose the most suitable ones for your climate and unique growing conditions.
