It's hard to put a finger on why I was disappointed by this book. I think that somehow, the information was not dense enough for me. Too much exposition and explanation, not enough useful "practical" content. If you're going to spill a pile of words on a page, do it in the form of narrative. If you're going to have manner-of-fact information, make it dense and list-driven. This tries to thread the needle, containing little in the way of story based content (which is easiest to retain) while also having a low density of information.

That said, there is some value in it. I didn't mind the book. I just thought it could have been better.

For the general public. This book can be consulted to create or maintain a community garden or a backyard garden. Very good tools, step by step techniques and educational section.

Very informative and approachable. Gives you both the how and the why for organic gardening techniques. Definitely would recommend.
