Reviews for Organic Vegetable Grower: A Practical Guide to Growing for the Market

There is a wealth of useful, interesting and up-to-date information in this book. It really must be essential reading for new, existing and retired growers like me, covering everything from small-scale no-dig to large field-scale production. Very highly recommended. -- Hugh Chapman, The Organic Grower * The Organic Grower *
