Foremost: Entertaining, Secondarily: educational

I enjoyed listening to this content so much I didn’t hear what was said so that I’ll be playing it over.

helped me to realize I have the heart of a gardener.

nothing about this book is disliked. will listen to it again. I urge all to listen to this book and not over analyze gardening to do your part.

A gem of information & entertainment

Witty, charming, timeless, refreshing and incredibly informative. We need more people like Ruth Stout. I’m hooked!

Awesome

Amazing story and way of life, I will read this book every 5-10 years or so just for the good vibes.

Can’t wait to try it!

Great ideas and an entertaining read. There seems to be a lot of expertise and wisdom behind Stout’s methods.

dated and timeless

overall this book is very sweet. you can almost see the vision of a 50's housewife talking to you about "this and that" I'm really curious as to what was in that "health broth" that was mentioned... as of yet, nobody's lived to be 160 years old. Also, the FDA these days won't let anybody make that claim LOL 😆

Very much Enjoyed!!

Definitely happy with this purchase!! I had never heard of this method, but wow!! I am definitely trying this out!!!!

Very interesting as a beginner organic gardener

The concept of time saving gardening is why I downloaded this book. Many guides suggest mulching. Now I understand the why and advantages. good timing as I happened to be building planter beds as read this book. Ruth talks alot but I liked learning about her history and her gardening journey. She lived into her 90s so she must have been doing something right!

A wonderful way to garden

I have been gardening in a similar way except, I had not used hay. I enjoyed hearing about how productive her gardens were. I will be adding hay in the spring.

Less work seems like a no brainer

Always amazes me when my friends and family (most of whom have the same or more education the I) blow this off. Some claim there is no way it can be as good as chemicals without even considering the option. Amazing that this argument has gone on so long.
