Although I have not yet tried organic farming myself, my purpose is to try to learn as much as I can before I begin my farming as I am not yet able to do so at the moment.<br /><br />I would like to share to you one of the the first book that caught my attention its entitled "A Natural Farming System for Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics" <span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"></span> by Keith Mikkelson. Keith Mikkelson is also the director of the <a href="http://www.alohahouse.org/">Aloha House</a> a non-profit orphanage based in Palawan, Philippines. The book was used as a training manual for a sustainable agriculture course conducted by the author.<br /><br />The book is available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?index=books&amp;linkCode=qs&amp;keywords=9719338105">www.amazon.com</a> for $97 excluding shipping. But due to my budget constraints and delivery issues I tried to find a digital format of the book. After googling for any digital format of the book I came across <a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/sustainable-agriculture/2737324">www.lulu.com</a>, it priced the hard copy by $62.53 excluding shipping and an alternative a downloadable pdf format for... free(yes free!)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lulu.com/product/download/sustainable-agriculture/2737326"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://static.lulu.com/items/volume_63/2407000/2407357/1/preview/320_2407357.jpg?2407357-1208870287" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />To download the free copy of the book please click <a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/download/sustainable-agriculture/2737326">here</a>.<br /><br />Enjoy reading.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5665685215182242092-6722377893101877224?l=farmingnewbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tednoreply@blogger.com0
