Educational, interesting, and so well formated!Feb 23, 2010
Wow, this book is so informative and well written. The book is large with well formated pages. The type is large and the pages are almost like a well written picture filled texted book. Makes it so easy to read and learn.
This book has absolutely everything you need to know about growning any type of vegetable in any type of climate. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get the most out of their garden and learn the best techniques, or anyone who would like to know how to make the very first steps to creating a successful garden. He even has a chapter on composting and how to use it in the garden, something everyone in america should do that has the space.
This book has more than enough information so that this should be the only book any vegetable gardner should need!

Inspiring and helpful, good detailsFeb 11, 2010
This is a good book. I like how specific and detailed the information is -- that is what I was looking for. I have a feeling I'll be referring to this book again and again. While I already knew about the advantages of raised beds and compost (who doesn't?), this book is organized well so that I can find specific info about each type of fruit/veggie I might plant. I also liked seeing how he uses his greenhouse to best effect. I don't feel I need another book to get started with a garden, this one covers it all.
 Awesome bookFeb 10, 2010
This book is a must have for any novice gardener. Edward Smith provides a wealth of knowledge on starting, sustaining, and turning out high yielding vegetable gardens even if you don't have a ton of space.
This really is the bible for gardeners!Feb 06, 2010
This book is incredilby informative. It's great to see that organic methods are front and center. Not to mention the induviualize plant by plant rundown is perfect. Definitly recomended.
The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (10th Anniversary Edition)Feb 05, 2010
This is truly a must-own for any gardener. //A Vegetable Gardener's Bible// is an in-depth guide covering everything you need to know: where to plant your garden, soil, seeds, diseases, and details on specific veggies from artichokes to thyme. What sets this apart from other garden guides is its attention to detail, complete with photos and illustrations.
First, the narrative explains the case. For instance, the section on cold frames begins with the author's personal insight, "A cold frame is one of those tools I didn't know I needed until I got one" (page 62). (Frankly, the same can be said of this book!) Next, you'll find instructions on how to build one of your own. Finally, there are step-by-step instructions for using this tool, including sidebar best-practice tips.
The "plant directory" is a true standout in the gardening book genre. Not only does it provide tips on sowing and growing, but more importantly, it tells you how to harvest when ripe, complete with photos. This section alone will lead new gardeners to success.
With this guidebook, you aren't left guessing. Between the superb blend of written explanation, drawings, and bullet points, the author truly covers all your gardening bases.
