A Slice of Organic Life is a luminous book that not only offers wealth of information about Organic and Natural living, but is illustrated so beautifully that it could grace the top of your coffee table.

Edited by Sheherrazade Goldsmith, this book offers how to on everything from growing salad leaves in a window box to how to churn your own natural butter. This book is for not only for the country dwellers, but also offers information for urban dwellers as well. In the forward, Alice Water explains,

This beautifully illustrated book is a treasury of practical information. The projects that (Goldsmith) proposes are simple object lessons in ecology and conservation that not so long ago were part of our everyday education... Now, with the survival of the planet at stake, we need to relearn these basic lessons in sustainability.

A great way to recycle your newspaper and prevent weeds from taking over your garden...Lay approximately 10 sheets of newspaper down around the plants in your garden and cover with your favorite mulch (I use natural cedar mulch). If you don't live in a drought stricken area, you may want to water the mulch to help hold it down. Works great!
