- How to maximize your space, whether you have a backyard or just a few pots
- Ways to double your harvest without extra effort

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

Compared to Charles' other books, this is more about no dig, eliminating weeds, garden layout, compost making, and using compost. There is also a history of no-dig vegetable gardening in the last 100 years. I want listeners to understand the context and the reasons why no dig has not been much valued until recently, and why it is now. This audiobook has 18 sections, covering the key methods and wonderful results of no dig, from starting with weeds to sowing and planting straightaway, and cropping soon after.

A simple, thorough, well-written guide
I grabbed this book after my tomatoes got demolished by pests last summer – talk about a gardening reality check! Who knew my lonely tomato plants were basically sending out an all-you-can-eat invitation to every bug in the neighborhood? The Three Sisters method changed my tiny backyard plot completely. Now my beans are climbing corn stalks like they're nature's trellis, and my squash is keeping the weeds in check below. My neighbors keep asking about my "secret" – turns out it's all about playing matchmaker with your plants! Even my apartment-dwelling daughter is using these tips on her balcony garden. This isn't just another gardening book – it's like having a master gardener whispering ancient secrets in your ear.
