Good Book,
By Mark G. Wall "organizer, farmer, writer, trav... (Oceanside, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Organic Gardeners Handbook: How to Create an Abundant Garden on a Small Piece of Ground, With Little Money and Few Resources (Paperback)
Have gardened on and off for years. This is a good book. Practical advice, basics for beginners, and methods that dive in just deep enough. Does not have crop by crop information on planting, spacing, harvesting, but that is available lots of places. Good place to start or refresh the basics plus. I've been searching for a book to use in teaching a gardening class and have looked through dozens . . . this is the best i've found so far. Nov 08
