            I bought this too late to really impact my garden this year, but see lots of great ideas for next year. The most important thing is how much more we could fit into our new raised beds. I look forward to planting a much more efficient and productive garden!

              Practical gardening is laid out in an easy to follow and innovative method.

              This is an easy read. Beginners like my own family found the instruction of this book very helpful. A 12-year-old shopped for and with minimal help built two square-foot-gardens and started planting this year using this book. The book guides your garden plans very well.

                      I am a novice gardener. I live in the city and for the first time will be able to plant in a community garden plot (80 sf). I have a family of 4 and was so excited to read this book and learn how even small plots can be so productive!! The book provides instruction for everything you need from start to finish--basic construction, soil, basic layout and planting advice!! It's no nonsense garden common sense and an invaluable resource!!

                        I had used the first book this man published and was happy with it but couldn't put my hands on it again. Then I saw that you carried his new book. It is fantastic!!! Much simpler than the old sqare foot gardening. I am looking forward to enjoying all the gardening I do from now on as the "chore" part is eliminated. Love, love, love this book. So easy to read and follow instructions. A real winner. I won't let this one get out of my sight.
