Review: Great off-season reading

I have found a lot of information in this little e-book. There are many ideas that I have used over the years, but I'd not previously heard of the Hugelkultur method, which is interesting to me as we have a lot of downed trees on our property. I'm familiar with wood-edge bed method, which is most of our present garden, and have used some form of lasagna gardening in the past. I also employ a lot of vertical gardening and companion planting. So I'm very familiar with many of the methods described, and eager to learn as much as I can from a veteran gardener.The only complaint I have with the book is that Chapter 8 is titled "Watering and Fertilizing and Mulching, Oh My!" and that cost the book the 5th star, as I despise ANY title that includes "..., Oh My!". But that's the breaks, I guess. I'll still read the chapter, trite as the title may be. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking to increase their gardening knowledge and it will make great off-season study and reading.
