How to Grow More Vegetables: And Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops Than You Ever Thought ... 28 reviews John Jeavons
Ten Speed Press, 2002
Not a book for "casual backyard gardening"
+ the best gardening book + Planned my Fall/Winter Garden With It

What this book is is a compendium of information on growing as much food ...

organized; it's like a textbook for a college level
Permaculture course. Seems comparable to, but easier to
understand and apply, than Mollison's Permaculture Design
