This is a great book - very comprehensive for being 200 pages. I was looking for vertical gardening info this morning and noticed that I have many more flags in this book than any others. The book covers soil, composting basics, ideas for planting, plant problems and diseases along with numerous helpful photos. I reference it frequently throughout the growing season and usually learn something new every time.
I'm here today to order a copy for my daughter, who bought a house last year and this will be her first time growing her own vegetables.
