Paul PiccirilloI've authored several books and presentations from creating natural soil amendments to compost teas, worms, growing amazing food and medicine packed with minerals and other nutrients. I've created a website with over 600 pages and wrapped it up all ito a wonderful Hollywood screenplay that's won 3 awards (so far). I wrote Brown Thumb Green Thumb to help guide you away from many pitfalls to point you in the right direction. Gardening is just a giant learning curve and you won't know it all in your first 2-3 years. You really never learn it ALL. It takes hard work and knowledge. This is the Brown Thumb Green Thumb theorem. You have work hard AND smart to be able to really succeed in gardening and provide food and medicine for sustainability. I've had many successful crops, raised goats, chickens, worms, and a family while still holding a regular job and building a website to teach others to be self-reliant. I can only guide you and show you how nature works by building a living soil, but the rest...You'll just have to get your hands dirty. It's the best medicine, physically and mentally.
