<description>Lowest Price as of Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:20:01 -0500 was $9.78.  Amazon.com Review -- Wouldn't it be lovely to have a patch of corn, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and beans just steps from your kitchen door? Would you like to learn how to control your zucchini plant? Ed Smith, an experienced vegetable gardener  from Vermont, has put together this amazingly comprehensive and  commonsensical manual, &lt;I&gt;The Vegetable Gardener's Bible&lt;/I&gt;. Basically, Ed  and his family have been growing a wide variety of vegetables for years and  he's figured out what works. This book, filled with step-by-step info and  color photos, breaks it all down for you.&lt;p&gt;  Ed's system is based on W-O-R-D: Wide rows, Organic methods, Raised beds,  Deep soil. With deep, raised beds, vegetable roots have more room to grow  and expand. In traditional narrow-row beds, over half the soil is compacted  into walkways while a garden with wide, deep, raised beds, plants get to use most of the soil. In Ed's plan, growing space gets about three-quarters of the garden plot and only about a quarter is used for the walkway. Ed teaches you how to create raised beds both in a larger garden or in separate planked beds. One of the most important--and most often overlooked--aspects of successful vegetable gardening is crop rotation. Leaving a crop in the same place for years can deplete nutrients in that area and makes the crop more likely to be  attacked by insects. Rotate at least every two years and your vegetables  will be healthier and bug-free. There's also a good section on insect and  blight control. &lt;p&gt;  Before choosing what to grow, go through the last third of the book, where  Ed takes a look at the individual growing, harvesting, and best varieties  of a large number of both common and more exotic vegetables and herbs.  Whether you are a putterer or a serious gardener, &lt;I&gt;The Vegetable Gardener's Bible&lt;/I&gt; is an excellent resource to have handy. &lt;I&gt;--Dana Van Nest&lt;/I&gt;  </description>
