Summary: Disappointed with purchase
Comment: First, 1/3 of this book is bibliography, ie. stuff I most probably have no use for. Secondly its a very dated book, lots of line drawings (not very good ones at that) that looks old, and no photos. Also its a very hard book to read, there's like 2 chapters devoted to convincing you of their philosophy (plus loads of new age crap), and every chapter is like that. The style and language used does not make it easy to understand what it is the author is trying to say. Sometimes I have to read and re-read a paragraph a few times to understand. For a guy that reads technical specifications everyday for a living, this is BAD writing.

On the plus side, there's a lot of technical information if you can filter out all the propoganda and understand what the author is saying. I really find this book hard to read, but the title really tells me the author was very good at marketing.

If you need technical info, and have the patience to filter out the other stuff, and don't mind paying for lots of pages thats useless to you, get it.

Summary: very technical
Comment: this book contains a lot of technical information such as
"the avarage number of pounds of a crop eaten by each american in a year," and "the ph soil balance of crops" it is not for casual practicionars, i would recomend it only to serious farmers, but to them, it would be eccelent.

Summary: This book is Great!!
Comment: THis book I would suggest to anyone that wants to learn how to produce a productive vegetable garden. I used to plant in rows with mixed results, but once I started composting and using the rasied bed meathod along with planting in blocks instead of rows, well I have enough to can and make my own home-made condiments now. I HIGHLY reccomend this book!!
