There are many books available about organic gardening, the reason why I recommend Barnabas Ory’s book is the author’s personal experience and knowledge of a new form of gardening in many ways. The book contains a practical, detailed description of the planning and implementation of the most important work operations in the garden, and can be used successfully by both beginners and experienced gardeners. Based on what is described in the 3-hour garden, they can create a garden full of well-known and special vegetables that are not available in markets and stores, from which a variety of tasty and healthy vegetables can be put on the family table.

I have known Barnabas for a long time, our professional cooperation goes back several years; in the light of my personal experience, I can say that this is not only a book with good-sounding “romantically exaggerated” theories and results, but its practical, reliable compass contains new professional information not only for beginners and hobby gardeners, but also for experienced, professional farmers. It implements the elements of the profit-oriented cultivation technology also used on our farm, MagosVölgy, tested in commercial production, into a system that can be used successfully even on a small garden scale, with ecological solutions in mind, as well as efficiency.
With 10 years spent in farming behind me, I myself often take out Barnabas’s book and recommend it to others with love.10 termesztésben eltöltött évvel a hátam mögött jómagam is gyakorta előveszem Barna könyvét, szeretettel ajánlom másoknak is.

Barnabas’ professional background and diverse experience as a farmer make the concept of “The 3-hour garden” perfectly authentic for me. The book is a reliable compass for future vegetable gardeners with an experimental spirit. Pragmatic, easy-to-understand, and rich in detail, it provides a lot of useful practical advice and reference points for all planning and implementation processes of backyard organic production. It supports and orients with sober arguments and counter-arguments, all of which is illustrated with eye-catching, sophisticated images. I reserved my 100 square meters in advance for the spring season in my grandmother’s garden, so that I could adapt what I read in the book and create my own experimental beds.
