There are much better organic gardening books to set you on your way
I don't really understand why this book is such a massive seller and has endured so well for many years. Don't get me wrong, i think promoting sensible, sound, successful sustainable organic growing is very important, and I bought this book hoping to add to my knowledge and skills of organic growing picked up over the last 10+ years. But its a very poorly written book, repeats itself endlessly, makes lots of excitable spurious claims about why the specifics of this particular variation of organic growing is so much better than others, and bandies around lots of questionable and tedious figures. It reads more like a manifesto than a good gardening book, and the obsession with double digging is simply out of date and unhelpful in my opinion. I'm not generally prone to strong opinions on things and rarely review things, and I'm sure the author is a good gardener and has been a great advocate for organic growing around the world. But there are much much better books out there, especially if you are just setting out on your journey of growing wonderful healthy and sustainable food for yourself. Personally having tried a number of approaches I have found low dig/'no-dig' gardening to be a very successful and time and resource efficient method, and so I would highly recommend Charles Dowding's "Organic Gardening, The Natural No Dig Way" as a thorough and wonderfully practical guide to set you on your way.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
