Books or websites on permaculture are good if you don't want
to till.  Any organic gardening magazine or books from
Rodale Press have great info on composting nourishing your
veggies if you till your beds.  We double-dug raised beds by
hand - Whew!  Back-breaking labor, but worth it for the
smaller ones.  Sorry - I have no gardening links at this
time, but I can tell you that Gardens Alive! sells organic
nutrients and have info in their catalogs, and Johnny's
sells organic, untreated seeds.  I am not affiliated with
any of these companies, BTW.
