Publisher's Summary

Do you know exactly where your last meal came from? Just how ethical was it? 

Fifty-one percent of people say they’d be willing to pay more for foods that have a less damaging impact on the environment...but what if you didn’t have to? What if the answer to a more ethical and sustainable life was right in your backyard?

Perhaps you thought your backyard was too small for growing vegetables. Perhaps you thought you lacked the knowledge and skills to grow delicious organic produce in your own garden.

The truth is, humans have been growing food for more than 20,000 years. We are adept at this, and no space is too small.

Imagine being able to guarantee that everything on your plate was chemical-free and homegrown.

Great Reference Book

This is audiobook is really interesting and informative. I like the PDF includes. Lizzie Richards has a great voice, and she did a great job with the narration. This is a great reference book.

Informative

This is a book that lays out in moderate detail the requirements of planting a garden in your back yard. You have to look at the included .PDF file for some aspects of design, but that is fine. The various elements of where to place the garden, how to decide in ground, raised bed or greenhouse are discussed.

Also covered are how to proved nutrients and water. While none tell you specifics for any one type of plant they do give you general instructions on how to go about determining such things.

Worth the time to listen, even if you have done gardening before.
