If there is one thing that every gardener should learn, this is composting. Some people steer away from this with the mistaken idea that it is complicated, takes too much time, draws rodents, and a wealth of other misguided thinking. The truth of the matter is, it is simple, only takes minutes a day, helps the environment, and produces the very best soil any gardener could ever hope for. Definitely learn about composting. Those who do will never go back to their old ways.

Big box stores make a fortune every spring selling live plants for home gardens. Most often this means settling for what is available when it is time to plant. Gardening books will have extensive lists of plants that may be grown from seed, when and how to start these seedlings inside, when to plant them outside, and how to properly take care of them. Following advice from a book written by a gardening professional is like having an expert companion guiding every step of the way. It is truly invaluable.

New and seasoned gardeners alike have a common complaint; garden pests and weeds. There are many books dedicated to teaching people how to combat these "bad" pests while leaving the garden "helpers" unharmed. There are also countless methods of reducing or almost eliminating weeds. Everything from raised beds and layer gardens, to newspaper cover, solarization, and homemade mulch, and so much more will quickly turn a newbie gardener into a seasoned pro.

Create a garden that produces enough food to feed a few chickens for the year, and enjoy free eggs... This is a great way to teach the kids about where their food comes from, as well as how to do it themselves. They do not have to be farmers to enjoy fresh, organic, homegrown food.

Discover why worm bins are one of the best things a gardener can create. It takes only minutes, but adds huge benefit to the garden. Yes, even worms leave their own type of "manure" and to the organic gardener this is like gold. Vermicomposting is definitely here to stay.

Take a walk through the woods, or through a pasture. Take a look at all the things growing that no one planted. That is right, nature knows exactly what is needed to grow strong healthy plants. The point is, we do not need poison to be excellent farmers. Just get a good book and pay attention to what the experts have to say. Their methods are tried and true.

No one really has a green thumb, or a black thumb for that matter. It is all a matter of finding what works and sticking to it. Gardening books for beginners can turn just about anyone into a master gardener with a little bit of information, time and effort.
