beginners guide to organic veggie patch

[aydiddlydee]

I'm looking for a gift for my BIL who has recently taken an interest in organic gardening . I was thinking of getting a book for his Christmas present but don't know where to start.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Lots of different size funky trugs will make him very happy. Cheap at the farmer's merchants.
