Summary: He's got the system!
Comment: This is the book to have if you want a beautiful and productive garden, especially if you don't have a lot of room. I've been carrying this book around with me for years, just waiting until I finally owned my own house so that I could build the raised beds and the interlocking system that he describes in this book.
My neighbors were a little bemused when they saw us out in the back yard, building our garden: "Oh, those are those raised beds, eh? I've heard of those" I'll tell you, when we had a cold spring and I turned my beds into little greenhouses (by covering pvc arches with clear plastic) I got a few more odd looks, but when it finally warmed up I took off the plastic and my tomatoes were three times the size of everyone else! With that head start, they were soon over six feet tall, and producing more wonderful tomatoes than I could handle.
Oh, and not needing to weed the garden (thanks to using his system of plastic mulch) and being able to water the whole garden by just turning a knob (thanks to setting up a drip irrigation system under the mulch, as he explains in the book) made taking care of my garden much easier than the traditional row gardens my neighbors have. As time passes, and my soil gets better and better, the advantages of this system will continue to accrue.
It's sad that this book is out of print, but it's definitely worth some effort to find a copy!

Summary: Practical, specific and very useful
Comment: I read this book in one afternoon. I applied the ideas and have had a far more productive garden in less space with far less effort than before. Ball's book presents specific information, complete with shopping lists for materials and sources of hard-to-find products. He also includes information on companion planting, scheduling and organic approaches. I wouldn't be without it!
