Book Description
This book describes the philosophy and methods of a holistic approach to
limited space gardening that produces so much food that, within three years,
you will be able to produce 85% of the food needs for a family of four on
less than a quarter-acre, plus earn over $10,000 in cash annually - and you
will be able to do this in less time than an equivalent job would require,
netting the equivalent of $50/hour for your labor.
Not that it couldn't happen, but if everyone DID do what this purports to teach (or even 1/10th of everyone did), then why would they be spending the cash to pay their neighbor 10,000 annually?
I'm always amazed at how great this sounds until it is actually put into practice.

$5/hour used to sound pretty good for agriculture. It's still the same amount, they've just devalued the dollar by 1000% since "10 acres and a mule".
