Customer Reviews

Condition Not As Advertised

The book was described as in "Very Good Condition". This book would have a hard time being called "acceptable". The cover has water damage that extends onto the title and first pages. (No indication of any moisture in/on packaging) The corners of the front and back covers are bent. Sad misrepresentation by seller.

An excellent organic gardening book.

Once again Rodale has come through. I own a lot of gardening books, but if I could only have one, this would be a consideration, as it covers everything in a simple, easy to follow manner. The information on pest treatment is somewhat limited, but gardening methods, tools, tips, etc, are very complete. If you only have one book on organic gardening for vegetables, this would be a great choice. One of the big advantages of this over other garden books is the full color pictures and the detailed drawing and explanations, which are to the point. (I do not like wordy books - just the facts!)

Great Guide for Beginners

Very happy to find this book! This book is an excellent guide for a beginner gardener like myself. It explains all the basics about how to start your own small vegetable gardens, how to take care of the patch, what to do with specific crops. Thanks to this amazing book, I successfully harvested summer squash, green beans, and cucumbers -- all beautiful and chemical free -- for the first time in my life, hustle free. Too bad this book has been discontinued.
