This book is so creative. I had several ideas for my garden, but could not quite figure out how to make them work. Well, this book does it all. It has lots of clever but simple and inexpensive ways to make your garden work better for you using materials at hand. I am on a tight budget and this book helps me have a very functional garden without spending a fortune. How to make an inexpensive cold frame, how to water more efficiently, and lots of other great ideas. There was a time in America, when people did not sit around and wait for the government to take care of their needs. They used their own ingenuity and made do. This book was written by people with that kind of mentality. Some of the best spent money on a book ever! Thank you to all the people who contributed these wonderful ideas!

This book has several different ideas that require common materials that don't require a huge amount of money. The author has utilized materials that can be easily scavanged or aquired from other economical sources. So good that not only did we buy one for ourselves but one for my in-laws.

Good basic garden book to doing your own garden projects. Now if we both could have the time to do them all!

Just a great book. It has projects in there that are simple and easy. Some of the projects are like, "Wow, why didn't I think of that!" I can hardly wait for growing season to hit Northern Minnesota so I can try out a bunch of the ideas in this book.

This is the best gardening book I've ever read. It's written in very simple language so that it's easy to understand. I've already been able to do a few of the projects by myself and that's something.

Haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but it looks great and I can't wait to get started on some of the projects!
