Customer Reviews

Great book... For the US

This was a very informative book with lots of illustrations and advice. It is very specific for the US, but does have some universally applicable advice. It also is not very scalable from a compact kitchen garden, to a larger setup, which was what I was looking for. The book also pumps you up for Organic foods and gets the ideas flowing. These people have passion, no doubt!! They also give some good tips on season extending, which I will probably try at the end of winter this year. This is a good addition to any library on gardening, or home care!

Extended Season Gardening

This book has awesome information for anyone wanting to grow all their own food and become self sufficient. Also lots of tips for extending the season even if you only grow a few favorites. Includes growing information on different vegetables, organized into short and long season heat-loving or cold-hardy. Also building instructions for their solar appliances and even the difficulties and learning from their decades of experience growing all their own food.

This book is full of it!!

One of the best gardening books I have ever read! Excellent information on solar gardening & instructions on how to construct the garden cones, frames & pods. They provide practical information in an easy to understand format. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in gardening.
