There is a wealth of useful, interesting and up-to-date information in this book. It really must be essential reading for new, existing and retired growers like me, covering everything from small-scale no-dig to large field-scale production. Very highly recommended. -- Hugh Chapman, The Organic Grower * The Organic Grower * What a fabulous, comprehensive guide Phil has compiled for both those running existing market gardens and those looking to embark on the journey. -- Carolyn Coxe, Organic Farming magazine * Organic Farming magazine *
