Review:
"John's methods are nothing short of miraculous."
--Alice Waters, author, Slow Food crusader, and founder of Chez Panisse restaurant
"Possibly the most detailed explanation of the Biointensive gardening method available."
--New York Times
"There are two kinds of vegetable gardeners--those who garden in beds of some kind and for whom this is the ultimate foundation book, a must-read, and an essential reference. Then there are those who don't garden in beds, for whom it's still a must-read and an essential reference. The full title"--How to Grow More Vegetables (and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine"--actually understates the contents. The book is about how to grow pretty nearly all your food and your garden's fertilizer on a modest amount of land."
--Carol Deppe, author of "The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times"
