It covers the subject thoroughtly 
"Complete"is not an overstatement. This volume on organic gardening says it all, is written in a readable and entertaining style, and is beautifully illustrated. As a reference it is as essential to the gardener as a dictionary is to a reader. it's the best gift I've had in years!

This is truly a one-stop comprehensive guide to organic gardening: it is a big book filled with techniques, definitions, solutions to gardening problems, and a huge listing of organic gardening resources. It's one of the most thorough guides I have seen for organic gardeners--it is well indexed and annotated, and covers all climate zones and growing conditions. If this book doesn't get your motor running about the garden, well, maybe you'll want to try a different hobby. I think it should be a part of any true gardener's library, covered with notes, muddy fingerprints, and with the well-worn pages.
