User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Endlessly useful if you live "west of the cascades"
To date this is the best book on the topic for the region. Organized and to the point, this book will not leave your side during growing season. Solomon knows the subject matter, and knows how to write. While I don't agree with some of his points about pesticides and fertilizers, they represent a small portion of the book - and the fact that almost every page is now smudged with the soil from my garden is a testament in itself.

4 Stars great for NW gardeners
If you are new to NW gardening, this book will help you get started! Lots of useful information. Wish it had more pictures.

5 Stars Indispensable
I have many gardening books, but this is my go-to reference book for all my food gardening questions and problems.

5 Stars i'm in awe of this book
this book is exactly, but exactly, what i was looking for. i wish i'd found it earlier, before i'd started my garden this year. well, many more years to profit from steve solomon's experience and wisdom. this book is clear, to the point, well-reasoned, and clearly based on extensive experience and a thinking, testing, wondering mind. it's a gem. now, what i would do to find a similar book for growing fruit in this area!! anyone know of one?

5 Stars Chapter 3 is a mini-course on soils
Chapter 3 has in-depth coverage of soil types, how to determine, and how to handle in the garden. Really comprehensive! Then the book covers just about anything you'd need to know about veggies in the PNW!
