If You Only Could Pick One Book....., 1 Aug 2000
By David Stone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Grow Vegetables and Fruits by the Organic Method (Hardcover)
Organic gardening is the only way that really makes sense when you get right down to it. Nature's perfect cycle of plant's growth, bearing fruit, and decomposition back to the soil can't be improved upon by ANY artificial means. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are dangerous, expensive, and totally unnecessary if you will take the time to understand the very simple methods of organic gardening. There are few things quite so satisfying as watching your garden grow and thrive using the organic method. You will be shocked at just how productive even a relatively small garden can be, and once you see how easy it is to go organic, you'll never use anything synthetic on your plants again. This book sold me completely on organic gardening, and I'll bet it will do the same for you.

Best Gardening book ever!, 6 Mar 2011
By mudmaid - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Grow Vegetables and Fruits by the Organic Method (Hardcover)
This book covers everything you ever wanted to know about growing fruits and vegetables. It's arranged well, with each plant getting a quick history, seed starting/planting basics as well as harvest/storing information. There are also great stories of old timers who have used these methods with amazing results. I grow produce to sell, and I do own other books on the subject, but this book lives on my dining table and gets used regularly, while the rest get taken off the shelf for occaisional reference. You can"t go wrong buying this book.
