Absolutely! Organic landscaping is not only possible, but it also makes sense both economically and environmentally. It promotes healthy soils and plants that require less water and sequester more carbon &#8211; a winning combination for both your bottom line and environmental protection. <\/p>\n<p><em>Organic Management for the Professional<\/em> presents the material in clear, simple terms so that property owners can understand what to ask of their landscape architects, contractors, growers and maintenance people. The book gives detailed, proven instructions for the key components of organic landscaping &#8211; soil building, correct planting techniques, fertilizing, pest control, compost and mulch. It shows how to apply these organic methods and tools in large-scale landscaping, commercial growing (orchards, tree farms, nurseries, and greenhouse operations), recreational properties (golf courses, parks, and sports fields) and residential gardens.<\/p>\n<p>The book is indeed written for the professional in the industries of growing plants, but it is also for homeowners and developers in the position of hiring people who can understand and implement the natural organic program to build soil health, grow plants successfully, save money and improve the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Buy in your favorite bookstore, online or by calling 866-444-3478 to get the book and support the Texas Organic Research Center (TORC).<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Personal answers to your gardening questions from Howard and staff<\/li>\n<li>Seeds from Howard&#8217;s Garden<\/li>\n<li>Seminars and videos<\/li>\n<li>Sample products and special offers<\/li>\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nTo discuss this newsletter or any other topic, tune in each Sunday 8am &#8211; 11am central time to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dirtdoctor.com\/radio-podcast\"><span>Dirt Doctor Radio Show<\/span><\/a>.
