5.0 out of 5 stars This is not your typical "how-to" book, 18 Jun 1998
By A Customer
If you are tired of the plodding prose of most how-to books, prepare yourself for a pleasant surprise. Andrew Lee has crafted a fantastic guide for those new to organic gardening, and has done so with style, wit and humor. He walks you through soil types, composting, marketing techniques, and tool selection. He also compares and contrasts Community Supported Farms, Farmers' Markets, Subscription Farming, etc. Andrew Lee covers it all. And on top of that he has produced a lively and entertaining read in the process.
