I liked the quality of the paper. I disliked the lack of detailed instructions for very amateur gardeners (like myself). No ideas on how or how often to water a plant; no ideas on how to prepare the pots. Nothing :-(
Pretty basic, but very well-designed and organized. Just enough detail to give great info w/o being overwhelming. I got this from the library, but I may buy it!
A good bridge for conventional gardeners but a little lacking for permaculturists. Still a comprehensive and helpful book I will want to add to the shelves.
