"This fantastic resource will put you on the fast track to gardening success."

"Tanya Denckla Cobb presents a wealth of gardening information in an accessible format, while showing that creating a healthy soil and working with the earth's natural systems are the foundation of a productive, sustainable, and satisfying garden!"

"If it isn't in this book, you don't need to know it."

"Anyone can become a steward of a sustainable garden with the help of this comprehensive and superbly organized book. There is a treasure trove of useful information here for gardeners of every experience level."

“This rich compendium on self-sustaining, organic backyard gardening and food should be on every aspiring gardener's shelf."

“A straightforward, serviceable guide to an array of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs that can be grown organically by the home gardener.”

“A solid reference guide that’s best for established gardeners looking to introduce organic methods and self-sustainability into their practice.”

“Whether the subject is earthworms, compost, or the way gardening supports mental health, I’m drawn to the quiet passion that flows just beneath the surface of these detail-rich pages. Unlike the author, I only grow a few herbs and tomatoes for the kitchen. And yet, I found the particulars of raising my favorite vegetables endlessly fascinating and educational.”

“Tanya shares her knowledge and resources in such a clear and actionable way. There is useful information here, whether you grow a mini-farm or a simple border of hardy herbs. I really appreciate the afterword where Tanya breaks down what "organic" means as a label and what organic means in our backyards... where we have the most control over what goes into our food.”
