Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

Very good book in general. For a book on extreme situation gardening he does spent too much time on sprinker systems. The author gives a very different perspective than most standard gardening book, utilizing alternative nitrogen sources most folks would not even imagine. Overall worth the cost. I am rereading it for the third time now.

This very informative book is easy to read. I can't wait to put Mr. Solomon's years of experience to practice!

This book is full of good gardening information. However its hard to use it. The binding came apart 3 days after I got the book

Loaded with good no-nonsense information on preparing a productive garden in an efficient and economical manner.

I own Steve's previous book and have gardened for years using his method. This book explains in great detail how plants grow and survive down to the line drawings of root structure for most vegetables. That helped me to understand just how important it is to space my plants correctly. His description of how to manage the soil before planting is great! I can't wait to get out in the garden and amaze my neighbors!!
