Some books are like gold-bearing ore--you have to sift tons of words to find a few nuggets. This book has nuggets on nearly every page. And unlike some authors, Raymond is open-minded to the various gardening methods and has tried them. Even better, he has worked in different soils in different parts of the country. And he is innovative.
I am not a fan of tillers and I am biased against chemicals, so Raymond had to overcome my initial skepticism. He did. While he extols the use of his tiller [he has a long relationship with Troy-Bilt, owned by Garden Way, publishers of this book], he also shows how to garden without one. And in most cases he offers organic alternatives to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Furthermore, he started out on a farm, paid for his first home with a garden and roadside stand, has appeared in food production documentaries and has given gardening classes throughout the country, face-to-face and on radio and television.
I do not agree with all he writes, nor is he inclusive of all gardening methods, for instance Fukuoka's no-till, Steiner's biodynamics or Mollison's permaculture. But in gardening, the proof is in the eating and it is clear that Dick Raymond eats very well. Beginning, mid-field and advanced gardeners alike will learn valuable techniques for soil enrichment, bed-building, seed-growing, transplanting, spacing, weed-killing and insect-handling. He is excellent on green manure crops, seeding and harvesting. I was especially taken with his Eternal Yield experimental plots, where he imports only seeds and lime but has improved yields and soil over a ten-year period. "My goal was to plant different sequences of green manure crops to see if they alone could provide all the nutrients food crops need. My guidelines were simple: don't add any fertilizer, compost, or manures to the soil. As for organic matter, till under only the crops that grow on the plot. Do not bring in any outside material--no leaves, no mulch, nothing."
This is the best-illustrated gardening book I have found. Hundreds of color photos and drawings on high-quality paper illustrate every lesson. All popular plants are given their own coverage including gourds, peanuts and sunflowers. In the section on pests I learned a technique I am eager to try on the mole army here--sticking pieces of blackberry canes into the runways. There is an insect pest section as well as one on diseases. An eight-page planting guide supplements and synopsizes earlier coverage, there are maps on first- and last-expected frost dates. The index is small but adequate.
Should your budget allow only one gardening book, this is as good as you can do.

Wonderful book for the beginers as well as experts. Exceptionally well organized. Gives detailed step by step information on all aspects of vegetable gardening. The technique of wide row gardening is revolutionary. Extremely helpful scientifically sound proven methods to make gardening a pleasure. Deserves one extra shiny star for not mentioning "Grandma" or her "Tonic".

About 10 years ago, as a Pastor of a small church in Ohio, I began to garden a small plot in the back of our house for fun and for survival. My first attempt was feeble, and I went to the local library to read up on vegetable gardening. That's where I "met" Dick Raymond and this book. It changed my gardening life overnight. Over the next couple of years, I had gardens in my small town that even the "old timers" came around to see and compliment me on, as I followed the techniques Dick outlines in this book. His "wide row" gardening approach is just common sense, but flies in the face of traditional gardening wisdom. He writes in a very down-to-earth and simple-to-understand manner about every subject concerning growing more and better vegetables and with such enthusiasm that convinces anyone that they can be successful growing vegetables. If you own only one book to help you grow better vegetables, this one is it! Thank you, Dick Raymond for hours of gardening pleasure and some of the most delicious vegetables I have ever tasted!
