Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Food & Drink
Growing Vegetables South of Australia distils Steve Solomon’s lifetime of Tasmanian market-garden know-how into a practical, month-by-month guide for cooler-climate growers. The 2012 paperback zeroes in on soils, pests and varieties that flourish below the 40th parallel, making it the go-to reference for Australian and New Zealand kitchen gardeners.
Solomon’s organic methods and harvest calendars translate complex botany into straightforward steps, perfect for young adults taking on their first plot or seasoned growers chasing bigger yields. His environmentally aware tone fits today’s push for sustainable, hyper-local food without sounding preachy.
This copy is in very good shape: crisp, unmarked pages, tight spine, no dog-ears, only light shelf scuffs to the covers. It comes from a smoke-free home and is clean enough to gift or keep as a working handbook beside the potting bench.
Whether you’re planting a Hobart backyard or a small farm in Victoria, this gently used edition of Growing Vegetables South of Australia offers proven strategies for year-round fresh produce.
