The Self-Sufficient Gardener, a complete guide to growing and preserving
all
your own food, using the new deep bed method to grow more food in less
space.
This well illustrated, large format book by John Seymour came out in 1980
and
pretty well covers all the angles in home growing and small critters. He
begins
by relating the work of Alan Chadwick with intensive beds and acknowledges
the
work of Chinese immigrants who developed the same techniques, such as Peter
Chan
who wrote Better Vegetables the Chinese Way. I see several sources at
http://www.bestwebbuys.com/books/compare/isbn/0385146701/isrc/b-search-other

with most used copies running $60 and up (original price $9.95). We paid
$5
at the second-hand store, very good condition.
