VG2 - Gardener's Handbook - Victory Garden 2.0 - How to Establish your own Sustainable Functional-Food-Producing Organic Garden

The Magic of Soil Design

There is, obviously, some know-how involved with creating and maintaining your own Sustainable Organic Garden.

Nothing complicated, nothing a child could not do. Fact is, this writer did it as a child of 6, at no one's injunction, but with everyone's support, being fortunate enough to be for 3-4 months a year in a rural setting where such skills had yet to be forgotten, and probably just wanting to imitate the grown-ups.

Now, if a child of 6 can do it, do you think you might be able to as well?

Indeed, there is nothing to fear. Nothing is simpler than Gardening. The Earth WANTS to provide you with wholesome foods. However, you can't successfully go into Victory Gardening, or any gardening at all, without understanding some basic principles. That's where this Handbook will come handy.

For example, believe it or not, plants are mainly composed of air, water and sunlight.

In average, it's quite safe to say that only about 5% of their total weight comes from the soil. However, if the soil does not provide them with what they need in form of air, water, and micro-nutrients, your Garden is going to go nowhere. The closer to optimal that input will be, the better, the easier for the plant, and the healthier for you.

Thus, learning to design a soil that is ideal for your plants to thrive (and obviously, different plants may have different needs) is of paramount importance for your overall success.

How to do that the most effectively with a minimum of time, efforts and expenses is what will be addressed in the present VG2 Handbook.

VG2 Handbook - INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPTS OF VICTORY GARDENING SQUARED and VICTORY GARDENS 2.0

VG2 Handbook - INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPTS OF VICTORY GARDENING SQUARED and VICTORY GARDENING 2.0

"Victory Gardening 2" or VG2 stands for both "Victory Gardening Squared" and "Victory Gardening 2.0.

The first, in the sense of the same as previously, but magnified many times over.

The latter, in the same sense than "Web 2.0" stands to the WorldWide Web - symbolizing the maturing of a technology as well as the full use of cutting-edge sci-Tech in the service of something. In this case, of "Victory Gardening", and what comes with it.

To the point of "Creating an Entire New Paradigm".

In a way VG2 is just the tip of an iceberg. VG2 is both a symbol of and the expression of a maturing of the human mind.

Victory Gardening 2 is Gardening that truly makes a difference for your health and the health of the people you care for. As well as the health of your community. And of the Planet as a whole.

Victory Gardening 2 - (Organic) Gardener Handbook

Victory Gardening 2 - (Organic) Gardener Handbook

The present blog will be used exclusively to announce the publication of the different parts of our "Victory Gardens 2.0" and "Victory Gardening 2" general "Gardener Handbook", a collection of practical "How To" focused Handbooks.

Obviously, "Victory Gardening" can only be "Organic". This is addressed in details in our FAQ at http://victorygardens2.blogspot.com/2009/01/victory-gardens-20-faq.htm , and throughout our blogs and websites, but the conclusion is simple: "You certainly cannot get into "Victory Gardening", and still poison the Earth and yourself. These things are simply incompatible." We are adding the word (Organic), though, just to make sure everyone got the idea.

The General Handbook will be published in bits and pieces, as they become available.

Collect them, use them, and you will end owning a comprehensive manual before anyone else does.
