Organic Orcharding: A Grove of Trees to Live In — 1981 Hardcover with Vintage Patch
$19.99
Organic Orcharding by Gene Logsdon, a practical guide to raising fruit trees, nut trees, and food-bearing trees using natural methods. This is the kind of book homesteaders, orchard planners, and serious gardeners actually use, not just read.
Logsdon walks you through climate zones, tree varieties, propagation, grafting, pruning, and organic pest control with the philosophy that the best grove is one where the owner becomes part of the ecology. This comes with a vintage "Don't Fool with Mother Nature" patch from the back-to-the-land era, a perfect fit for anyone building an orchard collection or decorating a garden shed.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
