I wish I could write fiction as entertaining as this informative book. I loved the small format because it's convenient to stash and read anywhere. It won't take long to "devour" this inspiring volume, though, and I only wish I'd gotten Mr. Good's companion book on composting at the same time. The most surprising concept I took away is the importance of Crop Rotation, even for a home-gardener. I'd presumed it was only for commercial farming, but the idea of "tricking" the insects (by keeping them on their 6-sets of toes?) makes sense now that the author lays it out. He also has me keen on trying grain corn that I'll then be able turn into homemade grits (my husband favorite breakfast side).
The author even includes what I'd consider the most amazing and useful plant in the world (pp. 132-134): Moringa. It is truly a "miracle tree" which I had first read about a couple of years ago in researching natural water-filtration. I had no idea it could be grown in the southern states as a crop!
To close, I'm still a little annoyed that Mr. Good seems to have a grudge against a vegetable that, perhaps, should-not-be-named (zucchinni)? Maybe because Z's are recalcitrant, too low-cal, or that they take poorly to storage? Who knows. ;-) Regardless, the book is the inspiration I've been needing to give up on the "perfect" container-garden and get back to the good ol' ground that I've got kind of garden.
