I suppose this book gave a little bit of helpful advice that I haven't read in other places. His technique involves working mostly organically, which I liked and he had some good ideas on how to maintain plants with a minimal amount of watering, which is useful in Texas where it doesn't rain that often. What didn't help was that this was for exponentially larger areas of growing than I will ever have access to. The author is an older man that has been growing plants and selling seeds for a very long time. He knows what he's doing, but overall, I didn't find it to be overly helpful and think there are better books out there for newbie gardeners that live in the suburbs. I skipped a fair amount of sections - mostly about collecting your own seeds, veggies I have no intention of growing and how to make compost on such a large scale it would take up most of my back yard. Something tells me the HOA wouldn't approve.
