Intensive gardening writ for the masses. There is a lot of good advice here but I belive while some crops can be grown right next the each other, most healthy crop needs room to grow proper roots. (

I may have learned more useful advice from this little book than on the literally hundreds of books and publications I have read on gardening in the past. Following this method, I built two 16-square-foot garden boxes this summer, and got more produce from that little bit of space than I had gotten in years of gardening the "traditional" way in long, flat, tilled beds.

I highly recommend this book for both novice and veteran gardeners. (

A great guide to gardening. Bartholomew gives a nice, enthusiastic outline of square foot gardening with some essential planting tips and time tables. I wish the book went into more technical detail on how to construct the frames and which varieties of crops work well, but overall there's very little to complain about. Got me very excited about gardening. (
