5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of natural gardening., December 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Grow More Vegetables: Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine (Paperback)

I tried the biodynamic/French intensive method and it works. I used less water and produce more veggies. I learned how plants can be grouped together for better protection against disease and insects. This book is a must for the serious gardener.
