Good info but I didn't feel like it was necessary to read the whole book with the sheer amount of information available online. I didn't actually gain any more knowledge from the book. But if you haven't read anything about gardening and prefer physical books over online research it's definitely a great resource. I appreciated the section about community gardens and how they can help communities but the author was a tiny bit insensitive with how he presented the information (ie suggesting involving cops to patrol community gardens in "poor communities")
