About this title

Synopsis

This book, FOODGRAIN BARLEY, SMALL-SCALE PRODUCTION, is a comprehensive technical manual for growing food-barley, a nutritious human foodgrain. Beginning with a detailed botanic and agronomic portrait of the food-barley crop plant, the book proceeds with detailed presentations covering “how to” techniques for successfully growing and harvesting foodgrain barley in grain-gardens and on mini-farms. Written in understandable language for laypeople, this book is a “grower’s handbook” for successfully producing this nutritious cereal crop using organic, ecological methods ⎯ completely avoiding the use of any synthetic, toxic, agricultural chemical fertilizers, seed treatments, or biocides. Valuable tips and details covering techniques and tools for planting, weeding, irrigating, harvesting, and producing the crop for home food utilization are provided. This book emphasizes small-scale, “hands-on” appropriate technology throughout. Information in this book is based on practical methods researched and tested during the author's more than thirty-five years of experience in small-scale field production of the crop for home food use.
