The Mittleider Gardening Course

After watching LDSprepper videos on YouTube last summer, George & I ordered the trace minerals and started using the Mittleider Gardening method.  We had very good results in the area we tested this method.  In fact, we had a bumper crop of green beans, so we will be using this method of gardening again, this year.

When I looked for Mittleider Gardening books, I found "The Mittleider Gardening Course" is very expensive.  The cost on eBay, Amazon & Half.com ranged from $45.00 - 59.00 for the paperback version, plus shipping and handling.  I did find a copy of "More Food From Your Garden" by Dr. Jacob Mittleider for under $5.00 plus shipping and handling.  I was so excited when I ordered that copy! 



Discouraged with the price of "The Mittleider Gardening Course", I did a Google search and found new copies for sale from the people at "FOOD FOR EVERYONE FOUNDATION" at: http://growfood.com.  The price of a brand new copy is $19.95 plus $5.48 S&H.  What a bargin!

For information about their products and books, contact Jim at:  jim@growfood.com, or go to their website.  They are fair and they shipped our book quickly!  


Both books show ways of creating a durable, easy to use greenhouse, as well and how to set up your beds for more produce from your garden.  I like the Mittleider watering system using PVC pipe.  This is a very simple way to automate watering and cutting back on water wastage.  We tried using the drip irrigation method, but we found that the "drip heads" would clog up and didn't work well in our garden.  

Mittleider Gardening brings the best aspects of hydroponics to the garden beds without the expense or high maintenance.  Look up LDSprepper on YouTube and have fun gardening this summer!


WELCOME SPRING!!  Start preparing your garden beds!  

Note:  I scanned the fronts of our books, so you could see them.  Garden ON!
