There are those who garden in beds of some kind, and for whom John Jeavons’s classic How to Grow More Vegetables is the ultimate foundation book, a must-read, and an essential reference. Then there are those who don’t garden in beds, for whom How to Grow More Vegetables is still a must-read and an essential reference.
