Robert Elger specializes in fruit farming, and from 1980 to 2000 was responsible for maintaining several large garden centers. He has always advocated for simple, inexpensive ways of gardening that are natural and effective. More a practitioner than a theorist, he rejects any dogmatism, advising gardeners and farmers to stick with what works and abandon the rest without hesitation. Both innovative and respectful of old ways of doing things, he produces his own vegetables, condiments, and fruits.
