This was great! As a new homesteader, this was a great read. It is laid out well. The sections made sense, the charts were easy to figure out. The photo quality is excellent.

I find it easy to flip back through and find what I am looking for after the first read through too, since it's so well organized. Which makes it a good quality reference book long term.

I will definitely be recommending this book!

I started watching The Rusted Garden several years ago and was so excited when I learned that he was writing a book. I enjoy starting my day watching a video, but at heart, I am a book person, and to have so much of his gardening advice in my hands, to me, is worth a whole pile of compost, a/k/a black gold.
If you want to live more self-sufficiently and grow as much of your own food as possible, this is a great place to begin. The book is divided into ten chapters that cover everything from building your first garden, to seed starting, choosing the right variety of plants or seeds, disease, and pest control, and preserving or cooking with your harvest. The information is presented in a straight forward manner, and there are lovely pictures that accompany each chapter.
Whether you have room to grow a large garden or just enough room for some pots, you will find something to help you get started or improve your garden. I enjoyed my time reading this ebook, and I am looking forward to buying a physical copy when it publishes. A terrific resource shared by a great teacher.
