Book Reviews of The Sustainable Vegetable Garden: A Backyard Guide to Healthy Soil and Higher Yields

Book Review: A Little Too Technical For Me
Summary: 3 Stars

It is interesting reading if you want to know EVERYTHING about intensive gardening. I view gardening as stress relief, not to eat to live, so I don't like to use my brain this much when working in the garden. I give it 3 stars because I do feel if one really needs this information, it could be useful. An engineer minded person would probably love this book and get a lot of useful info out the main book, How to Grow More Vegetables. I am technical minded, but after working 60 hours a week, I don't want to strain my brain over a garden.
