Book No. 8

One of my favorite books on worms. This is about spectacular achievements of worms since they were studied by Charles Darwin. Philippines is quite popular in this book. It was mentioned that there are still lots of earthworm species in our country that are not yet discovered. I wish I can find one and get to name it... :)

Book No. 7

Now let's go to the more specific stuff, like this book. A must have for those who want to start vermiculture and/or vermicomposting. It has lots of information about different varieties of composting worms and all that technical and scientific stuff. The best part of this book is, for me, the worm recipe section. It has different recipes, from worm brownie to worm meatloaf. Now that's high protein diet for you!!!

Books No. 5 & 6


These books are, for me, the most updated reference books on herbs. We bought these because these are the only books (about herbs) that contain information about our favorite herb - Stevia. I showed these books to a friend of mine, an herbalist, and he was surprised because he saw pictures and information on herbs he never saw on all of his herb books before. But to be honest, I haven't thoroughly read these books yet since we bought them almost a year ago. I only look at the pictures... :)

Book No. 4

Go Forth and Multiply!
This is an amazing book! Now we seldom ask ourselves "bakit kaya hindi nagpropagate?" or "pano kaya ito padamihin?"

Book No. 3

Know your enemies! (and friends)
Another book from DK (publisher). Like other DK books, this book is full of high quality photos that illustrate plants' pests & diseases. This book will eliminate the guesswork on what's wrong with your plants or if the insect resting on the leaves are friendly or not.
There was this other book similar to this one, they almost have the same content. They actually have the same title. The reason why we did not pick the other book even though its cheaper was because it listed earthworms as pest. Sometimes earthworms become a nuisance but their benefits outweigh their detriment.

It has 'lots of DIY stuff, like our trellis, we took the idea of wax as organic wood preservative from this book. Plus more...

Book No. 1

Our very first book in Organic Gardening...
We bought this book about 2 years ago and we still get lots of ideas from it. The high resolution images really help a lot especially for those who doesn't want to read lots of text.
