Welcome to the miles trench home page :) If you have found this site, you have probably heard of my book: Holistic Gardening - The Five Principles of Success and are interested in learning more about organic, sustainable, fresh food gardening.     What's it all about?          Holistic gardening means having a real connection with the plants that we grow. Every day we have the opportunity for healthier lifestyle choices by growing our own organic fruit, vegetables and herbs; chemically-free in edible food-gardens we have created at home.      By why should we bother?

Because it's a simple fact that home-grown produce is nutritionally superior and tastes better than anything you can get from the supermarket. It is healthier, better for our pockets and for the environment too! Organics is a growing phenomenon. More than ever before, we have the choice to seek out more natural ways of living. Ways that reflect a greater awareness of the role nutritious fresh food can play in our health and wellbeing.

How does it work? Holistic Gardening - The Five Principles of Success outlines a cultivating system based on age-old wisdoms found in feng shui and lunar and companion planting, techniques that over the centuries have been proven to increase the quality and yield of all the food plants that we grow. This book also explains other inspirational ideas like no-dig grow beds and organic practices used by permaculture and biodynamic growers the world over. Inside you'll also find fabulous tips for promoting biodiversity and maintaining healthy ecosystems to foster and support predator and friendly insect habitats.
