I think this book and method are great for gardening here in the hot South. Although, during the summer, I had to water a bit more than Mel suggested, it was easy since I was only watering a small area. Using the method was fun, and even weeding was easier - since I knew what was supposed to be where, I could spot what wasn't supposed to be there before it grew large.

We had tons of tomatoes, and are still getting lots of green peppers every day. I especially liked how he did not recommend expensive "garden" supplies, but detailed methods to make things from supplies we could easily get from the home store. The best part was that since the garden was small, I could keep track of what progress the crop was making and what each crop needed to stay healthy. Plus, when something ended its season, or didn't come up, it was easy to replace it since it was just a matter of replacing a couple squares.

It is a great resource - and all the ideas inside keep you dreaming of garden projects for seasons and years to come!
