Book Description

May 18, 2006
How to turn your backyard garden into a Green Machine.

There is something supremely satisfying about pulling out of the backyard garden a big head of crisp lettuce, a half-dozen ripe, red tomatoes, a basketful of Sugar Snap peas, or any one of the dozen or more fresh vegetables growing there. Well, you too can turn your backyard into a cornucopia of plenty from spring through summer and fall, and you don’t need a green thumb. All you need is a little know-how.

This book can bring you there. In exacting detail, it will take you step-by-step into the world of gardening, teaching you how to:

• Build your own plant incubator and cold frame.
• Start your own seedlings in the middle of winter.
• Harness the sun.
• Turn poor soil into gardener’s gold.
• Collect and use rainwater.
• Stretch out your garden space.
• Grow super sized vegetables.
• And utilize dozens of tricks to turn your little plot of land into a Green Machine.

With this book, new gardeners can learn how to do it, and experienced gardeners can learn how to do it better.

If you like fresh veggies, you’ll love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely helpful for the beginning gardener, August 17, 2006
By 
This review is from: From Seed To Salad: A Step-By-Step Manual For Backyard Gardening (Paperback)
My husband and I planted our first veggie garden in the summer of 2005. We had such a great time and felt ready to step up to the next level! I read about this book in our local paper and purchased it based upon that article. We are soooo glad we did!

This book explains gardening in simple, step by step instructions! Since purchasing it we have started our first plants from seeds and are ready to begin planting our first fall garden. With this book we feel confident that we can have veggies all year round.

If you live in the same climate zone as NY, this book will be especially helpful. Other climate zones just have to adjust the planting schedule that the author writes up in the book.

I recommend this book to anyone ready to go from beginning to intermediate gardening with success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Talking To Your Neighbor, Who Is An Expert Gardener, February 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: From Seed To Salad: A Step-By-Step Manual For Backyard Gardening (Paperback)
Great value. All-in-all, it's a very pleasant book, little or no "fluff", which is a good thing, and there is plenty of good content.

When you first look at the book, it has a nice cover and good materials. Then you open the book and there are black-and-white, fairly short chapters on a variety of topics, almost any topic that might be important to a new gardener. The type is a little smaller than I like, but not terrible.

I got the feeling that I was talking to a neighbor who just happens to be an expert gardener. There is nothing fancy here. There are no glossy pictures. What you will find is some good information. The title is appropriate, because he does take you step-by-step through the process of starting a backyard garden.
