The Natural Way of Farming By Masanobu Fukuoka is next on my list. I've read a little of it already. You can find a pdf of it free online, it is a public document, you don't have to steal it. If you haven't checked it out yet it is the book credited with starting up the organic/green movement. People have been visiting Fukuoka in Japan to study his natural farming since the 60s and 70s. His method is a bit labor intensive, but you can definitely find many new tips that are useful no matter how you run your own garden. mrgreen
