No hype, no buzzwords, no new age crap, no agenda. Simply down to earth - literally.             Smith & Hawken: 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden32 reviews Carolyn J. Male Workman Publishing Company, 1999 Will inspire you to grow tomatoes I received this book as a gift, after my small 4-plant tomato plot fared disastrously last summer. 1 of the 4 plants produced decent tomatoes, while the rest died unceremoniously. This year, following the recommendations in this book, my 4 plants are all doing great, and I already have little tomatoes-to-be on 3 of the 4. For that reason alone I would recommend this book. I wish some of the ...             Estimation and use of the inverse hyperbolic sine transformation to model nonnormal correlated random ...15 reviews Octavio A RamiÌ�rez Food and Resource Economics Dept., Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, 1992 Outstanding I've had this book for a few years now and have read it over and over again. The information is amazing. There's not a topic that Wiseman doesn't cover or at least touch on. Not only is it small, it's tough too. It's been on every camping trip, hike, deployment and just about every other trip with me for the past three years and it's still in great shape. Friends of mine that could have cared ...             Burpee : The Complete Vegetable & Herb Gardener : A Guide to Growing Your Garden Organically15 reviews Karan Davis Cutler, Cavagnarok David, ...

You'll want to go on an buy other books that go into more detail on specific topics, but this is a great place to start, and one to keep on the shelf. It is presented as a gardening book should be - a large hardcover with lots of glossy colour photographs. ...             Epitaph for a Peach14 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2008 Epitaph for a Peach It is rare to read a book where the author works miracles with his hands and his words. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys non-fiction but finds it dry, without humanity. David Mas Masumoto is anything but dry. His land may be at times, but his poetic prose is anything but. His relationship with his family, his family's farm and nature is a rare combination. I highly recommend ...             Square Foot Gardening: A New Way to Garden in Less Space With Less Work80 reviews Mel Bartholomew Rodale Pr, 1981 Square Foot-great concept for those limited on space This is a great book for those limited on space.

I am an avid outdoorsman and believe in being prepared(Boy Scout Motto) to take care of one's self "off the grid". This book might as well be my bible. It does skim a little on some subjects but on the whole it gives a thorough enough explanation of all the skills one would need to scout out, build, propagate, and flourish on a frontier farm. Excellent illustrations to ...             Classic Roses7 reviews Peter Beales Random House UK, 2002 Beales Chooses the Best; Forget the Rest This is not a coffee table book. Though the pages are high-quality paper, the photos excellent and plentiful, and the binding high-quality, the book is essentially a meaty reference. If there were a college course on roses, this might serve as a texbook. Beales starts as most authors do by talking about rose history, culture and using roses in the garden. It is clear that Beales is not so ...             Hydroponic Food Production: A Definitive Guidebook of Soilless Food Growing Methods8 reviews Howard M. Resh Woodbridge Pr Pub, 1989 Excellent-pity illustrations are in black and white.

I have been greeted by instructions to see spirals, look at the sky, and walk a labyrinth. Following these suggestions has turned my walks in the woods into little adventures in which I interact with nature as never ...             The New Seed-Starter's Handbook7 reviews Nancy Bubel Rodale Pr, 1988 Great All-Around Gardening Book This book is an introduction and reference for people who want to grow plants from seeds.

Basey Jermar Press, 2001 The Most Amazing Book Ever! Flour Power is simply the most amazing book and read I have ever come across. I love bread I love baking bread. However, until getting this book I only made white breads. Now, I am a whole meal bread lover.

It's past time for this 1987 book to be updated and republished. This is Cadillac gardening as Crockett and his successor Bob Thomson apparently had a large budget, a full toolshed, and endless time to produce a perfect garden. My pitiful ...             Jerry Baker's Old-Time Gardening Wisdom: Lessons Learned from Grandma Putt's Kitchen Cupboard, Medicine ...8 reviews Jerry Baker American Master Products, Inc., 1999 Informative and Humorous I originally checked this book out at the library. Some of the stories that he relates as a young boy learning from his Grandmother are both humorous and informative. After trying a few of jerry's concoctions I decided it was one of the books that would be handy to have on hand for future reference.             Desert Gardening7 reviews Brookbank Da Capo Press, 1991 Simply the Best This book fooled me at first glance. I browsed the bookstore and purchased several other books on gardening for hot, arid climates and passed on this book. The lack of color and the obviously amateur photographs in this book led me to believe that the text would be amateur too. This assumption was complete in error! After reading the other books I still didn't feel satisfied that I had ...             The Nature and Properties of Soils11 reviews Harry O. Buckman, Nyle C. Brady, ... Pearson US Imports & PHIPEs, 1996 A Fun, Readable, and Thorough Introduction to Soil Science My "Science of Soils" class at Stanford University (Autumn '01) used "The Nature and Properties of Soils" as our main textbook. It is clearly written, easy to read, and has lots of helpful figures (including graphs, diagrams, drawings, and black-and-white and color photos). The chapters are well organized, so that you can find exactly what you need to know. The authors include hundreds of ...             The Heirloom Tomato: From Garden to Table: Recipes, Portraits, and History of the World's Most Beautiful Fruit9 reviews Amy Goldman Bloomsbury USA, 2008 For heirloom tomato lovers This book is all that it claims.
