Very complete "bible"Aug 20, 2010
We live in Honolulu but planning to move to Mainland and spend our retirement as a farmer in East Coast.
This book really help me to understand and imagine how will be my future garden. Very complete with nice pictures. I love this book, it really is a bible for gardener. Easy to understand too.
 great resourceJul 30, 2010
This is an excellent resource for gardening and I look forward to using it. My only complaint is that there must be an updated version of this, because I saw the book in a store and it had more detailed pictures and descriptions that were absent from my version. If I had known I would have purchased the newer version.
WowJul 26, 2010
This book is terrific if you wish to grow any vegetable. This book covers absolutely EVERY topic for gardening except for using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Although I personally do not have a problem using non organic methods this book has showed me how to use other methods that are cheaper, readily available, and more productive. After reading this book I have taken a much more organic stand towards gardening for the reasons I mentioned above but I still resort to chemicals for pest control. I feel that if my only vice is chemical pesticides on home grown vegetables I still fair better than 95% of Americans. This book is like having the old timer who sold produce at the farmers market when you were a child on your shelf.

 Coffee-table GardeningJul 16, 2010
This is hardly what you'd call a "bible," a comprehensive, portable guide that you'd swear by. It's actually a coffee-table book, bulky and full of beautiful glossy photos and thus short on information. It's great if you're gardening in your living room, but you wouldn't dare lug this outside. Many far better and more practical books are available at a fraction of the cost. Don't be a fool like me, falling for a title.
Read This Before PlantingJul 15, 2010
Filled with practical and innovative ideas. This book will pay for itself again and again.
