This author basically dismisses every other gardening method or technique as unrealistic. After reading this book, it amazes me that anyone has ever grown anything in a garden. The main point that I take away from this book is that if times get hard, don't count on being able to feed yourself or your family from a garden, it just won't work. Sorry if this is a dissappointment.
I found the book to be very helpful on how to get through the essentials. The author has great insight and offers his own experiences as a helpful guide through start up, maintenance and developement of a practical garden. Most importantly, IT'S USEFUL.
Very, very important and informative book. This is no sissy gardening book. I bought it for my husband, and he loves it. Perfect for anyone wanting to be as self-sufficient as possible.
This book is easy to read and comprhensive. It even tells a person how to start a garden in the spring. Great for first timers who didn't know to get the garden prepared the Autumn before. It also provides lists on which veggies are easy to grow and hearty and which require more care and are delicate.
Comprehensive, to the points, easily read but full of gardening goodness.I would HIGHLY recommend anyone considering a garden reading this book first to ensure you don't waste: money, time, or energy.My family put off building our garden just so we can finish the book and ensure we build it right the first time.
