Vegetable Gardening

Thanks to a "growing" interest in the local food movement, self-sustainability, as well as health and money-saving concerns, vegetable gardening is more popular than ever. Using full-color, step-by-step examples, Idiot's Guides: Vegetable Gardening covers all of the techniques and tools needed for every type of garden, including small plot, raised bed, container, and vertical. Ideal for all types of gardeners — whether they live in a rural, suburban, or urban setting — content includes planning, soil preparation, pest control, maintenance, harvesting, and much more!
John Tullock has written more than 15 how-to books and blogs regularly about food gardening and sustainable living at johntullock.blogspot.com. He is a self-employed sustainable technology consultant with clients in the United States and Italy. Tullock is an avid gardener, and among his books are Idiot's Guides: Vegetable Gardening, The New American Homestead: Sustainable, Self-Sufficient Living in the City or the Country, and Pay Dirt: How to Make $10,000 a Year from Your Backyard Garden.
