He has an entire chapter devoted to creating compost, which is great, but I do wish he would have talked a little more about cheaper ways to get good dirt to start your garden. Lots of practical ideas for improving my garden: I have several I’ve already put into practice (composting and seed starting) and several more I’m eager to try (comfrey fertilizer). This is a good book for the beginner budget gardener but there are some things where being cheap will cost you in the long run. I’ve long wanted to grow my own food, particularly as a way to get away from produce that only seems to arrive in plastic containers.For example, the author talks about how he traded a half-hour of his labor in exchange for three bulbs of garlic.
