How to Create a New Vegetable Garden: Producing a beautiful and fruitful garden from scratch Review: Hope to garden in new space? Read this book! - Excellent book on gardening in general, but especially on starting in a new spot. Best discussion of invasive perennial weeds I've ever found in a gardening book. Advice not only on beds but paths as well. How long to expect covered weeds (with their light blocked) to remain a threat and when you could reasonably expect to see them gone. Extremely clear writing plus photographs that explain a lot. Also photographs of the author's various beds, how each was started under different conditions. His experiments with added products, with more or less digging, with several crops in one space each year. Lots more, from seed starting to space saving. Must mention the author seems truly invested in whether the reader goes on to enjoy gardening and is successful. He includes even those photos that show mistakes and carefully tells what he did wrong. I had a few difficulties understanding some words, since I'm not from the UK but the US, but in context I figured out what was meant pretty quickly. Not a problem. The book is quite attractive, well bound, and the pages are of good paper. Would make a nice gift. Review: One of the best gardening books I own (and I have nearly 100) - I just love this book and sure wish I would have had it when we moved to our new house last fall. It would have saved me a ton of money on the roto tiller and all this other stuff I bought to start fresh with our garden. I had a garden at our old house but needed to turn about a half acre of weedy pasture into a new garden when we moved. Charles Dowding's no-dig approach to starting a new garden is nice and simple and doesn't cost a ton of money. Plus it's SO much easier than doing all that digging! I started watching some of his videos on YouTube and decided to get this book. He is based in the UK and I'm in the US but no problems because he always gives measurements and weights in both metric and imperial units. He's just so calm and encouraging, he lets you know that you CAN do this! I loved the book so much I bought a second copy for my daughter who is buying her first home next month. I plan to purchase a few more of his books. He is such a treasure trove of useful information! This book is well worth the money. Take a look at his YouTube listed under the username Charles Dowding and also Morag Gamble for more info on this type of gardening. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #325,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #219 in Organic & Sustainable Gardening & Horticulture #236 in Vegetable Gardening #270 in Garden Design (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (285) | | Dimensions | 6.6 x 0.65 x 9.15 inches | | Edition | First Edition,Second edition | | ISBN-10 | 0857844741 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0857844743 | | Item Weight | 1.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 2019 | | Publisher | Green Books | ## Images ![How to Create a New Vegetable Garden: Producing a beautiful and fruitful garden from scratch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81chD1+IMVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hope to garden in new space?
