Amazing audiobook

Have to say that the first bit of advice in the intro was perfect. It is so easy to be overwhelmed. While I have been raising cattle and gardening for many years the small farm aspect is a new adventure. I purchased this book to seek out other experiences.

This book was a great place for me to start

This book was a great place for me to start, as I have very little experience in this field. I was able to get started and was not overwhelmed by complicated jargon. I can't wait for spring to get started planting! I have already used the information on preparing the soil and laying out a plan.

Great!

The author shares his experience of many years of being a farmer that is perfect for a novice. His overview is perfect for my family to understand what needs to be done, the work involved, and the number of vegetables and fruit that can be grown on a half-acre of land.

easy to understand

This has been very helpful for someone who has never done any major gardening. It makes the complicated parts of soil management easy to understand

Brilliant

I don't say this lightly, as I'm a pretty critical reader and a writer of non-fiction, how-to guides myself, but this book is simply superb. Not only was the massive amounts of information distilled to a very easy-to-understand, plain-spoken, concise text, but the author does a wonderful job of dancing through some of the moralistic aspects of food prep/consumption that have permeated our culture.
