Another Solid Gardening Book From Richard Bray

Considering that the nutrition in our food depends upon the health of our soil, little attention is given to evaluating and improving it. This book fills a need in my personal gardening library. I found information that will help me grow better produce in my container garden next summer, as well as things I will need to know in the future when I can plant the garden if my dreams.
