My goal is to provide information and tools to gardeners and people who want to become gardeners. People who want to eat better quality food. Food that is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, weedkillers such as Roundup, and GMOs.

Dirt to Soil

"Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey into Regenerative Agriculture" by Gabe Brown.

I am John L Friedenbach, the author of Green Garden Growers. I grew up on a farm in Montana where my mother cultivated a garden each year to feed our family. My role was to assist in cultivating and hoeing to control the weeds, while my mother handled the delicate task of direct seeding. I also contributed to harvesting and preparing the harvest. After joining the military and leaving gardening behind, I became frustrated with store-bought tomatoes that appeared ripe but were still green. This led me to start growing my own tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets from starter plants. This marked the beginning of my journey into growing my own food. Today, I have a 15' x 25' garden plot where I cultivate a variety of vegetables using trellises to maximize space. My passion for organic gardening drives me to provide other gardeners with knowledge and tools to help them succeed.
