Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm an advanced gardener and have been gardening for many years. I came across this book last year and decided to take it for a spin. I already used raised beds, but I built more using his methods. I followed the book to a "T" I had the worst harvest this past year. We have just two people and we planted three 8'x4' and one 12'x4' and still didn't produce enough food to meet our needs. The previous year I used the techniques from The Vegetable Gardener's Bible and we had a fantastic harvest. I also noticed that this year, besides being less fruitful, the plants weren't as healthy and it was the first time we had major insect infestations. This was most likely due to the plants being planted way to close to each other and the soil being deficient in nutrients. I will definitely not use this book again and will be going back to the Vegetable Gardener's Bible. I'm giving it an extra star because I like the planting schedules in the back and the construction methods for row covers and trellises.
