What a very, very special book!! I was really excited to learn about the process that Donald used to find the very best type of farming to get the most outstanding crops. What determination he had to stick to it for several years until he found the exact formula that would produce the best vegetables and with almost no insects. That is a winning combination. I am praying that more and more large farms will adopt these methods so that more of us can purchase this wonderful produce. I have been doing a great deal of research in what foods are best for us and without a doubt, we will only benefit our bodies if we eat organic. I also am a huge believer in supplements because the produce from this new way of farming is so inferior than it was 50 years ago when Donald was doing all his own research. What a perfect stocking stuffer this would be for Christmas!Product details

Learned by the Fencepost edition by Donald Lewis Joyce Maddox Tina Joyce Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
Don came across my website, [ ... ] , liked what he saw about growing more nutritionally-rich foods, and asked me to review his book. I enjoyed reading Learned by the Fencepost because it has practical tips from someone who helped get the organic movement going way back in the 1950's. Don paid attention to what happened in the field and garden, and learned from experience. He ran his own experimental trials to prove what worked.
I appreciate his promotion of the use of soft rock phosphate from Florida. I recommend that soil amendment to clients regularly, but I run a comprehensive soil analysis so I know exactly how much of each element is needed for optimal balance. Don recommends taking soil samples to the local extension office, however my side-by-side comparisons of soil analyses and recommendations from the extension "service" and from a good independent lab were vastly different. Don criticizes "the USDA and the government" for pushing the use of chemical fertilizers--and I totally agree with him. However, the extension "service" is an extension of the (corrupt)government and the information I have gotten from them is often misleading. I believe that the agriculture chemical corporations, who control government to a large extent, do not want growers to be able to grow supremely healthy crops which don't need their chemicals.
Don talks about his experience in Virginia starting his organic garden. It took him 5 years to get his soil in good enough condition to produce well. With the proper soil analyses and amendments he could have saved himself a lot of time, trouble and heartache with getting his soil to perform well. And his produce could have been more nutrient rich also.
As Don says, "Observation, logic, an inquisitive mind, and Mother Nature are valuable teachers in farming and gardening, as well as in many other aspects of our lives." Let's all keep learning and moving forward together!

The lesson learned from the rotting fence post is so obvious in retrospect - and so easy to apply visually in the garden. Now to find a good, reliable source of manure
I have just received my copy of Learned by the Fencepost (well ahead of the promised delivery date). I read it cover to cover(disregarding my chores for the day, as I could not put it down.)
I have had a discouraging gardening year so far. Since reading Mr. Lewis' book, I now look forward to the new ideas I'll apply starting next year. Thank you Mr. Lewis.
Don puts his years of gardening wisdom in this book. His real life stories draw you in - they are so interesting and he even mentions awards he has won. In addition to teaching you about what does and does not work, how to garden organically - truly organic - he gives many tips and suggestions - there are so many insights to glean from this book. I cannot wait to start my own organic garden.... inspirational and aspirational.
As the author of Grow So Easy; Organic Gardening for the Rest of UsI was disappointed in Learned by the Fencepost by Donald Lewis.
Admittedly, the author, Donald Lewis, was a man before his time with his farming techniques. And Mr. Lewis won some interesting awards for production on his farm -- but in the 1950s. He rambles about his farm experiences, mixes time, dates and information and then repeats all 3 as he slowly heads toward the topic of organic gardening. Here, he does impart two concepts - spreading manure before the snow falls and tilling, every year. The first is accepted practice, the second is something that many organic gardeners would never do as it destroys the micro-culture in the first 9 to 12 inches of soil.
Mr. Lewis seems like a nice man; his life sounds like it was a good one. But his gardening advice is limited and his writing is disorganized, personal and frankly not interesting enough to wade through for the limited bit of information he does share. If you want to learn about soil - read Dirt The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth- a lovely, almost poetic book about how alive soil is, how easy it is to use and enhance and how quickly it can be deatroyed.
