"I really appreciated this intensive method of gardening in raised beds. In raised beds, your square footage is so limited, you lose a lot if you try to grow in a spacious orderly fashion. The more compact, chaotic style of this better suits my own wild jungle of a backyard. There's also a smaller reference section with advice for growing in different types of challenging climates, and finding a balance between growing what is easy in your climate, and growing a wider variety with a little more work.
I actually have a "long overdue notice" on this book from the library, so I better take it back today."
"My brother sent me this book, after a visit to his house last month when he actually went to his garden to pick vegetables to eat for dinner. I was impressed, and so now he has me fired up to get a bed ready for the spring. I'm planning to order my seeds this weekend and have already got my grow lights rigged in my basement. Whether I'll actually have success is another story, but I'm going to try."
