Review: Cliff Notes to Organic Gardening
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have been involved with organic gardening for the past three years, and it is not easy, sometimes rather disappointing, but when I can walk outside my door in the morning, pick a pepper or cut some kale and use it immediately for breakfast,  it is very rewarding.  James Givens' ORGANIC GARDENING is a rather excellent introductory overview to the tools, processes, space, and natural environment necessary to organically growing food.  By no means complete, Givens nevertheless gives pertinent, practical, and most importantly,  REAL information that is of concern to any gardener, all written with full clarity in a short readable format.For those already starting on the journey of eating fresh food from one's own labors and already own reference guides, I would not recommend ORGANIC GARDENING,  as there is no particular information given that one will not see in any well researched resource.  However, for someone interested in what the whole thing entails,  or perhaps as a Kindle gift to family and friends looking for an outdoor hobby, I would certainly say this is worth consideration.  From experience,  trying to get a handle on a new topic is not sometimes best served with a 300 page comprehensive tome, but instead a brief Cliff Note-like introduction like this eBooklet.-----I regularly review eBooklets but do not allow the asking price of each eBooklet to influence my final review and rating, concerning myself with ONLY the content and format as compared to similar offerings, allowing the potential consumer decide if the price is worth the usually *very* short page length.
