Book Reviews of Organic Vegetable Production: A Complete Guide
Book Review: Drier than toast
Summary: 3 Stars
I think I'm in the same boat as the other reviewer, I'm just starting out and interested in learning everything I possibly can about organic farming. I'm not going to be as kind in my review, but I think it needs to be said that this book is boring. Don't get me wrong, this is a very complete book, with lots of details packed into it. The problem though is that you have to sift through 90% chaff to get to the relevant parts. I'd almost compare it to an instruction manual that doesn't dare leave out a single step, so you'll read about how to assemble what you need, plan everything out, consider the ramifications of what you're doing and that's all without even talking about farming! I'd almost say these are the same writers of government extension pamphlets and they condensed every one that they every created into a single book.
Again, don't get me wrong, the information is there, it's just that I'll be damned if I can stay focused long enough to read through it all. In other words, a page turner this book is not.
