Organic Books
There are many books available about organic living such as organic cooking, organic gardening, organic skin care products, and eco-friendly cleaning. Some of the best titles are available at my Organic Bookshop.
Organic Cookbooks
Most organic cookbooks focus on using fresh seasonal ingredients which have been grown organically. Using seasonal produce means you’ll have the best flavour possible in your meals. Your meals will be even tastier if you grow you own vegetables.
Organic Gardening
The principles or organic gardening are new to many people and the techniques may seem complicated. You need to know about improving your soil naturally, growing plants without synthetic fertilisers, and controlling pests without using pesticides. This is actually easier than it seems. Your soil can easily be improved by regularly adding compost and by rotating your crops. Composting and adding natural animal manures can replace the need for fertilisers. The vast majority of pests can be controlled by companion planting and by using natural methods of pest control.
Organic skin Care
If you are worried about what you are putting on your skin then why not make your own skin care products and makeup. It’s not as difficult as you might think and there are a number of good books on the subject.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
Bleach and other strong chemicals used in household cleaning can have negative effects on your health. The need for these types of cleaning products can be reduced simply by cleaning regularly with microfibre (or similar) cloths. There are also natural alternatives which clean just as well without the health risks. You can read about these alternatives in the books I have recommended in my Bookshop.
