Makes sustainable gardening seem harder than it is....
The book says "it presents the basic principles of gardening in easy-to-understand terms accessible to even a beginning backyard gardener". I found it a difficult read even for an experienced gardener like myself. While there is some good tibidts of information here and there, its nothing you can't find in other, more reader friendly books.
A Little Too Technical For Me
It is interesting reading if you want to know EVERYTHING about intensive gardening. I view gardening as stress relief, not to eat to live, so I don't like to use my brain this much when working in the garden. I give it 3 stars because I do feel if one really needs this information, it could be useful. An engineer minded person would probably love this book and get a lot of useful info out the main book, How to Grow More Vegetables. I am technical minded, but after working 60 hours a week, I don't want to strain my brain over a garden.
Finally some actual DATA!
I am thankful to find this book, because it is so rare to find any gardening book that actually tells you how many seeds you need for so much ground, or how to predict yield.
The reviews that complain about this valuable information give me an idea why that might be. People are too stupid to either value or use that information.
Well, if you are intelligent enough to be looking for that information, then you'll be happy to have this book.
