Our innovative approaches to limited-space agriculture have been field-tested by hundreds of thousands of readers.

Coined as "MiniFarming," our approach to limited-space agriculture using purely organic techniques has proven the test of time.  Published in its original form over a decade ago, and the result of extensive research, the techniques for planting, seed selection, soil maintenance and pest control have demonstrated that on a small scale, organic techniques are more effective than those used in large-scale agriculture.

With MiniFarming, everything starts with taking care of the bacteria in the soil, and augmenting them with additions from thermophilic compost and using amendments that they like.  These bacteria then repay the farmer by serving as a nutrient reservoir and a nutrient interface for their crops while also suppressing diseases and making crops less attractive to pests.

Publications in the series include the original MiniFarming, Maximizing your MiniFarm, and The MiniFarming Bible.
