Received this book through GoodReads First-Reads Giveaway.

Found this to be rather interesting to read, especially on what not to do to ensure that your garden remains organic. I did like the mention of vegetables, how to maintain the garden, and all the worm farm mentions. Learning what bugs were good and which were not was rather informative too! The use of tools was informative, though more would be beneficial.

I did have a few issues, such as in certain areas the water probably has more chemicals in it than other places, such as chlorine, arsenic, and flouride. While that may be fine, they're still chemicals none the less and in some places water supply which is not good. Another issue was that I would have loved to have had more information on fruits and vegetables, especially fruits. I would love to know more about them, especially strawberries and blueberries. I'd also like to know more about the places where certain plants thrive and do well in.

This is a really great guide, especially if you're first starting out in it as it helps you get everything started and going to understand what it is you're doing. It also shows that to have organic fruits and vegetables, you don't have to spend that much money and you can provide a healthy meal for your family. It does take work and he does stress that a lot!
