I have acquired and read all these books, and would
offer a caution or two:
1) They are NOT well-written. These guys are
gardeners, not writers, so, while the "gold" is there, you have to dig for
it.
2) The evolutionary nature of their work makes it
hard to adapt to your own needs. They have spiraled in to a very narrow
perspective: Feeding oneself from minimum space in a specific climate.
While that is a useful perspective, I think it will not be implemented as
described by many.
Other methods, such as those supported by this
list, Ken's Minifarm site, Elliot Coleman's approach, and even Square Foot
Gardening, offer better ways to get started or, at least, communicate the
methods better. Jeavon's work should be viewed more as an
finely-tuned example (as should Fukuoka's, or Ruth Stout's) of what
is achievable, rather than a recipe for what, and how, YOU should
do.
