Organic Gardening TechnologyPage 1Organic GardeningTechnologyFor Barbados Page 22ForewordOrganic gardening may be described as traditional gardening with a bit of sophistication added. Old time Barbadiangardeners would certainly have practiced the traditional form of organic gardening. The sophistication brought on by new and improved technologies is recent. Though volumes exist on the practice of organic gardening in temperate countries there is a dearth of literature with a local or regional slant. The National Council for Science and Technology over the past three years has received a number of inquiries and requests for a publication on organic gardening that speaks to things with which Barbadians are familiar. In keeping with one of the requirements of its mandate which is to collect collate review anddisseminate information on science andtechnology the council has collaborated with Mr. Stevenson Skeete (a local agronomist) and Mr. John Hunte in the production of thisbooklet. The booklet targets in the main the householdgardener and the small kitchen gardener.However it may also prove useful to those persons who are producing on a larger scale. The Council trusts that this booklet will prove beneficial to all who use it.
