Grow Your Own Vegetables (ISBN 071121963X)

My new veggie bedside book:
I found the book really easy to read and to consult on the different vegetbles. It really covers everything, I particularly loved the section on making compost like 'Black Jack' Liquid Manure. Great ideas everyone can use, like using nettles and comfrey for manure. The book is so detailed but yet not over the top. It tells you how to plant then manage the veg then harvesting. For me it is the only book I will need to grow my own veg. Thank you Joy Larkcom

oelkelinda@qwest.net:
When searching Google for vegetables that grow in alkaline soil, Amazon came up with this book. So I purchased it, it was a big disappointment. Firstly, it was from England, and there was just one small paragraph in the whole book about alkaline soils. I have learned alot through this purchase.

Must Have for Avid Vegetable Gardeners:
The previous reviewer who gave this one star because they were looking for info for alkaline soils should have their soil tested through their county extension service and amend their soil appropriately making the issue mute. This is a fantastic book full of information and techniques which result in a comprehensive "go to" reference which is far more thorough than most American vegetable gardening books. I've been gardening all my life, spend a lot of time seeking information online but always appreciate comprehensive references for my personal library. I highly recommend this book for it's content and credibility.
