I thought this book was a disorganized mess. What does make sense in the book is common sense that you already know. The only way this book will improve my garden is to put the book in my composter.

I’ve been waiting for this book since Dec 2009 from the great reviews of the earlier edition. A great book for the beginner and experienced. This is mainly for veggies, but does go over some native plants, pests, sun and climate, and recipies. This guide is a great read and highly recommended.
