First, it's a weird mix of U.S. customary units and metric. For example, one line said to plant the seed 0.5cm deep in rows 18 inches apart. It's constantly hopping back and forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit. That isn't it's biggest problem and not makes it not useful. About half of the book lists individual plants but gives no useful information for self saving. For example it says that beetroot is mature in 60 to 70 days. That's true to harvest the beetroot to eat, but beet root is a biennial and wouldn't produce seed until the next year. Another example is it say Limequat is mature in a couple of weeks. The seed might germinate in that, but Limequat is a tree and will take a number of years to reach the age to bear fruit.
