I don't know much about gardening at all, and a friend loaned this book to me, It's extremely practical and fantastic for those starting at zero, It also covers a way to garden that is EASY and lowmaintenance, Right up my alley! It's easy to understand and wonderful to use as a practical guide, I was sad I had to give it back, . . but the information it gave me is super helpful to start my garden!

This book is best read when getting ready to START a garden space/bed not after you already have one.
It's possible to still find valuable information if you already have one, it's just most helpful for those starting a space, And don't worry that it's lasagna gardening for small spaces, You can take the principles and apply it to bigger spaces, The original book isn't for small spaces but in general, but I didn't like it as much it didn't see as practical or easy to read, But this, since it is their second book, was a huge hit with me for small or bigger space, Great book for giving ideas for small gardensideas for flower boxes, pots, garden boxes, I will need to buy this book, Good information. Written well. Made me feel like even I could do it, Anything to improve my gardening experience is a good thing,
A lot of good advice, especially the composting section, I have started composting and plan to try some of her ideas this Spring, A surprisingly uptodate book that teaches the notill method of gardening using nutrientrich layers to maximize your garden space,

The latest soil research indicates the beneficial nutrients and microbes are contained in the upper few inches of soil, Tilling, double digging and even mixing in compost and other soil additives is of little use and possible harm as they churn up weed seeds, leave 'poor' soil exposed, and diminish the gardener's enthusiasm.


The theory is that in a nutrient rich soil bed the earthworms will rise up in a fevered army and churn through the layers mixing them thoroughly as they add their own compost.


Seems to working in my own garden, If you follow the directions in the book checking to

make sure you have not created a compost pile that will burn your seedlings you can create lush vegetable and flower gardens in very limited space with a limited effort.


The book contains chapters on vertical gardening, howto gardening for city dwellers with problem spaces, and a nice section on vegetables and their growths habits and nutrient needs.
Basically, a method of composting directly into the garden, I was looking for something on companion planting, I will need to keep looking, Liked this book another nice compliment to my gardening library, really liked the planning guides and lists of types of plants, looking forward to using the ideas for this gardening season coming up.
