Book Reviews of Backyard Market Gardening (Good Earth)
Book Review: Good book about marketing a mini-farm
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. My only complaint, is that I wish the author had gone into the growing aspect a bit more. The book turned out to be more of a marketing book. Great book for a niche that needed to be addressed in a bit more detail, but not the book I thought I was getting. My two favorite books thus far on the subject of mini farming have been Mini Farming for Self Sufficiency and The New Organic Grower: A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener (A Gardener's Supply Book).Book Review: For those of us with a hippy soul
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good book to have if you decided to get back to nature, downsize your life, get with it or just make ends meet when food prices are going up, up, up. Just know that it takes a lot of work, especially if you are into organic. That said, this is a good start on making money with gardening when you don't have a acres of land. My lot is 1/3 of an acre and it is quite productive. This book helps you make the best of what you have. I recommend it. I didn't give it five stars because it doesn't have all that much that's new to me, but then again I read a lot.Book Review: Very, Very Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this book a great guide to gardening using organic methods, it goes to great lengths to show you how to market you extra production or even to start a full time endeavor. Very good coverage of modern methods in irrigation, crop rotation, pest controls, and marketing. I highly reccomend this to your library!Book Review: Must Have!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tremendous resource for anyone who believes that you don't have to 'go big' to make money. This is something you must own.Book Review: Backyard Market Gardening: The Entrepeneur's Guide to Selling What You Grow
Summary: 5 Stars
My Husband has not put this book down since it arrived! It contains exactly the information he's been looking for to help him make the right decisions about selling what we grow. Needless to say, this book gets a very high rating for content!
