A More Sustainable Adventure

Session 5, Part A: GROW BIOINTENSIVE: A Beginner’s Guide — Composting

By letter2self on July 12, 2025



This is the fifth installment in the how-to GROW BIOINTENSIVE series from John Jeavons (the author of the sustainable gardening classic “How to Grow More Vegetables”) and Cynthia Raiser Jeavons.

The whole series is available as a full-length uncut DVD, at http://www.johnjeavons.org/video.html

With this revolutionary organic gardening method, you will learn to grow more food in less space, to build truly sustainable soil fertility, and to save money by reducing water, energy and fertilizer use! This self-teaching series provides an excellent introduction to the GROW BIOINTENSIVE method and will get you out into the garden in 8 sessions!

Other topics in the series include growing seedlings in flats, preparing the garden bed and soil, transplanting, harvesting, saving seeds, choosing your crops, and maintaining your garden.

For more information about the GROW BIOINTENSIVE Method, or to take an in-depth workshop taught by John Jeavons, go on a tour of Ecology Action’s Biointensive research mini-farm at The Jeavons Center in Willits, CA, or download a free copy of The Biointensive Farmer’s Handbook, go to www.growbiointensive.org.
