About this ebook
This book is my story about developing several high-yielding vegetable beds in my backyard.
The book provides a description and pictures of my vegetable garden beds, the crops I grow, and my tried and tested techniques for turning poor soil into productive vegetable beds. I also explore reasons why increasing numbers of people are growing their own vegetables. In the last chapter, I’ll provide you with a guide to growing your own vegetables all year round based on my experiences of gardening.
Growing your own is a small step towards reducing your carbon footprint but it is something that is within your control. When you grow your own vegetables, you reduce your vegetable ‘food miles’ to zero.

Peter Hadley
I am an Australian author living in Canberra. I write historical fiction and books about achieving self-sufficiency in a suburban vegetable garden. I have published three books: Return to Rabaul – an epic story about Australians in WWI and WWll; The Philosophy of Slow Vegetable Gardening - about turning my back yard into a sustainable self-sufficient vegetable garden; and Ten Vegetables for Self-Sufficiency. I also write crime novels under the pen name PM Wells. The first novel in a proposed series 'Dark Intentions' was published in 2012. I published the second novel, Twisted Desires in 2014. Both novels are set in Canberra and star crime solving duo criminologist Mike Bales and private investigator Kate Watkins.
