Biodynamics is a theory of agriculture that emphasizes the natural relationships between plants and between plants and the soil and other natural elements. The aim of biodynamic gardening is to grow healthful produce in a natural, self-sustaining environment, rather than producing spectacular yields. After explaining the theory and basics of this gardening, Dennis and Miller discuss planning a garden, soil biology, companion planting (the arrangement of crops to keep away insects and otherwise improve the health of plants), natural pest control, organic and natural fertilizers, and composting and mulching. There are chapters on useful garden tools, beneficial weeds and wild plants, biodynamic lawn care, and managing fields and woodlots. There are also helpful line drawings and charts. George Cohen
