Very Good submitted by charlotte mayhew on August 17, 2020, 3:43pm This book goes into the nitty-gritty of organic growing for home and market gardeners. It is more technical than Coleman's other three books, so it is perhaps a bit less readable to the average gardener. Still, there is a lot here and it is worth looking through to see what hasn't been covered in his other books.
