A practical guide sharing master farmer’s techniques with home gardeners through clear illustrations.
Japanese gardeners make efficient use of limited space by growing compatible crops together to improve yields, plant health, and flavour while reducing pests. This book introduces effective plant pairings such as tomato with basil, carrots with edamame, and strawberries with garlic, as well as relay planting methods for continuous, chemical-free harvests.
It offers a practical approach to productive small-space gardening, with clear guidance on planning, soil preparation, planting depth, and spacing, supported by colour illustrations.
Kijima Toshio is a Japanese agricultural scientist and master farmer, holding a doctorate in agriculture. He conducts research and practical studies on organic farming and traditional agricultural methods.
