Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Everything the author discusses is downright the opposite of what I have found to be true. He even discusses his numerous failures on what he just directed as the only way to do something but doesn't get why it failed as he aggressively dismisses other very successful methods as worthy of doing he crushes Rodale. He just doesn't get it. I could give dozens of examples but here are 2. He can't grow celery because he has clay soil and celery roots can't tolerate clay, yet he is aggressively (and I mean aggressively) against raised beds that would solve this problem. His chapter on composting states 'I have not mastered the art of making the highest-quality compost. I have read about it at length. I have attempted it and never quite succeeded' Even as a baby gardener I managed to create a pretty darn good compost pile turning leaves, grass and kitchen scraps into 'black gold' used to feed an intensive garden that wowed every guest that came to pick the overabundance of goodies from my small garden! I have probably gotten twice the production per sq. ft. out of an area gardened since 1954 then this guy could dream of. I can't think of one thing he got right.
