Kevin Kerr has managed to pack a ton of information into this book. What makes this book work for me is Kevin stays focused and to the point. He keeps it simple yet, in review, very comprehensive.  His 6 chapters covers all the basics such as soil, seeds, light, water, ph levels, composting,fertilizing (this where a lot of folks get lost in organic gardening) and, as he refers to it, fungus bacteria and critters.On the fertilizing, he outlines the making and use of "Compost Tea" and offers tips as to create your own organic fertilizer. He stresses the importance of the proper use of using these teas and fertilizers to ensure success. This is one area where good intentions meets with not so good results and I can appreciate Kevin giving quality information on this aspect of organic gardening.The chapter, "Tips for Success" offers some sage advice plus his 14 basic concepts to organic gardening is spot on. With the information provided, a novice can expect to have an edge in getting the desired results in starting out with organic gardening. For the seasoned gardener, there is always something to be learn and even the smallest of tips or advice can reap massive benefits.This is one book on organic gardening that I can recommend to anyone interested, or already into, organic gardening. Kevin Kerr has done an excellent job in providing the right information in a simple, clear and precise manner. Kind of reminds me of Sergeant Joe Friday from the old TV show, Dragnet, "Just the facts ma'am"Spot on Kevin, you did good!
