This was a good read.  I remember back in the 70's when I first started 
working on biointensive methods.  I had no big tools so I had to make my 
garden with a little spade and my hands.  In 2 years, I was growing an awful 
lot of tomatoes, cukes, peppers, etc.  No potatoes, which really bummed me 
out.  I LOVED potatoes.  My kid now lives in a trailer park and has almost 
no yard and was really wanting to atart a veggie garden.   I gave him 
"Square Foot Gardening " for his birthday this year and he's really excited 
about it.  He had no idea you could grow so much in such a small area.  I 
guess he never realized how much food was coming out of the little gardens 
when he was growing up.  Anyway, the book is still in print and still is a 
great starting point.
