In this compact volume the author presents a concise look on growing fresh vegetables to meet the needs of the family with a surplus to share or sell - is the outgrowth of many years of research and experimentation im more than two score countries around the world under most unusual and varied circumstances, most recently in Africa, Southern Utah Indian reservations, Trinidad, Tobago, W.I, and Russia.
After these years of research a simple garden method has been perfected. The method is not limited by poor soils, rocks, hillsides, swamps, city limits, long seasons, short seasons, rain, arid regions, waste land, weeds, lack of powered equipment, or no equipment.
The Grow-Bed garden program outlined in this book
is simple, inexpensive, and easy to implement. It will help you
to eliminate failures and experience the best in gardening satisfaction
and enduring success.
Comments
"I have been completely converted by the simplicity and soundness
of the system and above all the results . . . Dr. Mittleider, no
matter how short or how long your stay in this country you have
lit a torch which will burn for a long time."
C.D. Promnitz, Agricultural Officer, Zimbabwe, Africa
I am pleased to write concerning our experience using
the Mittleider Method of growing a large variety of fresh vegetables
for the L.D.S. Welfare System . . . My personal feelings and those
shared by my associates are, that the Mittleider Method is a most
enjoyable means of growing food . . . The results are fantastically
more rewarding than I have ever had in my 30 years of growing vegetables
by conventional means. The production is heavier, quality higher,
and the results more dramatic in every way. I am pleased to recommend
the Mittleider Method to everyone for pleasure or profit.
(President Charles A. Jones, Sandy, Utah Central Stake, of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)
Dr. Mittleider knows one thing that can change the
face of the earth, and he's trying to get someone to listen. No
matter how poor man, or man's soil is, if there's a way to get water
to it, with only a plot of ground 20' X 100', a man can feed his
family better than it has ever been fed before . . . He has proven
his claims in just about every type of adverse situation in the
world . . . The Idaho baker-turned-agricultural wizard, specializes
in turning what is known as "devil-land" into unbelievably
productive land. The beauty of the program is that the transformation
can take place anywhere from three to six months, with food to spare
and to share for the effort . . . There's no reason why there is
a single person in the world who has to go to bed hungry.
Dr. William Willoughby, National Courier Correspondent
"As an agriculturist myself I can assure you that you are in good hands when gardening from any of the Mittleider books or other training materials."

It's Spring Planting Time! For those of you in the Northern hemisphere who have winters, March and early April are the time you need to be preparing your soil and planting the hardy vegetable crops such as radishes, peas, cabbage and broccoli.
The freeze/thaw cycles of winter have broken up and loosened most soils, so as soon as it's not muddy, go in and give everything a good weeding with the 2-way hoe (see Tools). Weeding thoroughly this early gives you the upper hand, and is very important.
If you grew a Mittleider garden last year, your beds will be easy to re-make. Just apply Pre-Plant and Weekly Feed to the bed area, then till them in, place strings on your stakes, and re-make the beds.
Be sure to re-check the level of each bed accurately, since they may have changed a little. Do not be satisfied with anything more than 1" fall in a 30'-long soil-bed. Good Gardening!
