 2008-11-03 - Now is the time to garden!
In this time of layoffs, economic uncertainty, rising prices. This is a good book to read and follow. Start building your containers now and be ready to plant come the spring.
Excellent, frugal, and i can understand it and wont be a slave to the garden!
2008-11-03 - Can't wait to give it a try!
This is a great book that is very simple to understand and easy to read. The ideas presented are very compelling and I can't wait to see the results of my square foot garden. Everything you need to know about starting your own garden is contained in this easy to use book. I would definitely recommend it, and plan on buying it for many of my relatives as a Christmas gift. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that parts of it get a little repetitive. I guess that's the author trying to reinforce key points. It's probably not as noticeable if you skip around to various chapters or read it over a longer period of time. I read it all the same night.
 2008-10-25 - An excellent alternative to row gardening.
While I have not yet tried the methods of gardening in this book, I have to say that it makes sense. It is an easy way to set up a garden so that it is less work. I do wonder about larger plants like cabbages and zucchini plants that like to spread out, but I have to delve into the book more, to see how he handles this. I think his methods are ingenious and I cannot wait to try them. One of the best gardening books I own on methods of setting up a garden. This is an especially good method if you have limited space.
