Good resource for the beginning gardener. Not advanced enough for my needs, but still enjoyed the book. Great for the just starting grower.
Everything from building cold frames, to compost, to types of lettuces. The "Four Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long" book is a great book for people living in the North East who want to garden even in the winter months. Eliot Coleman does a fabulous and inspirational job of showing step-by-step how to. Very, very good book for all cold-weather living people, who love their own garden food. Eliot Coleman is a genius.
This book is just what I was looking for. It has excellent information on extending the growing season with simple directions. It is laid out well and the sharing of personal tidbits on how they started growing all season is interesting and insightful.
This book is a general overview on how this guy runs his high-production, high-cost garden. No details are given on how the average Joe can build or buy the stuff. The wife and I were pretty disappointed. I learned nothing from this book and fell back on the intial plan: build a big quality greenhouse.
The book is very helpful when it comes to thinking about winter gardening but I think the average person will not have access to a huge portable greenhouse to accomplish this.
