Excellent book to read through and then keep as reference.
There are MANY nice color pictures (especially at the end there is a vegetable reference guide for planting/care/info).
This book gives you step-by-step instructions to designing and cultivating a high-yield WORD garden.
If you are clueless about gardening, get this book.
If you think you know everything, then get this book (even if you have memorized the companion planting reference matrix).
From small planter box gardens to acre sized garden plots..
If you want to learn how to grow vegetables, then this is the book!

Hoping to make the most of my new garden, I picked up this book and hoped some of the techniques would work. WOW doesn't even begin to describe how great this was. The techniques outlined in this book will take a relatively small garden and produce veggies like you've never imagined! I can hardly wait for next year when I'll have more time to build beds and plant even more! I really believe it'll be possible to feed my family with just the vegetables we can grow ourselves.

If you wnat to get the most out of your garden space, you need this book!

I LOVE this book! It's enjoyable to read and incredibly useful. A great book to begin reading before you plant because it gives you guidance on laying out your garden.

The only people I think it wouldn't be helpful for are those who live in apartments and are container gardening. They should read You Grow Girl: The Groundbreaking Guide to Gardening instead, another awesome book!

If you want to have a hugely successful vegetable garden using organic methods, this book is for you!

Highly useful book, and a future edition that contained a few corrections and clarifications would be just about perfect.

The author mentions companion planting without discussing mechanisms, which makes typos hard to decipher. The "Artichoke" page states that tarragon is a good companion to artichokes, but the "Tarragon" page states that artichokes are a BAD companion to tarragon. Which is it?

The author also instructs novice tomato growers to remove all "nonflowering stems that grow between the main stem and the leaf crotches." What does this mean?! All stems will flower eventually...
(Of course pruning is controversial anyway... some gardeners claim that the complexity of tomato flavor depends upon lush foliage.)

The "Parsnip" section also has some vague instructions in the opening paragraph: "I deposit some seeds and labor in the warm months, and my investment matures the following spring." Does that mean that parsnips should be planted late summer/ early fall? What exactly is done in the warm months? The rest of the text does not explain this.

My nephew was starting a garden like me I gave him my copy and got a new one. This is a great book and it has helped me to be a gardner.

I wish I would had bought this book long time ago. So much it is written out there but this book gives you a clear explanation and it is so well written.

I'm a city girl with no gardening experience whatsoever-- this book was a good guide and now my family is enjoying the fresh veggies I planted just months ago. I think this is an amazing tool for the beginning gardener.

Mr. Smith has produced an invaluable resource that will become a standard---I've had this book for a couple of years, but this year was the first I've had opportunity to put his words to practice. He's dead-on in his excellent advise, so this year's modest garden will definitely grow next year. I'm wearing out my copy from use---a book well-loved indeed! If your planning a vegetable garden and need help---look no further. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This book was listed by someone who began a hobby farm as the best book she bought on the garden in general and for self sustaining wannabees...so I took a risk and I found it to be great! I live in an area with a short growing season (Pacific NW) and found many great ideas that are very applicable to me. This guy makes a lot of sense and makes it very easy, in fact you can decide how "deep" you want to take his ideas. So if you want to employ some of his methods, you can do that with ease, or if you want to go all out, and have a huge garden like he does. Anyway, I thought this was great for me, a beginner home gardener. This book got me very excited about a whole bunch of new things I never thought about, including things you do in the fall/winter & early spring that contribute to the health of your garden. Anyway, I highly recommend this book and thought it was worth it for sure.

The content of this well written book has been covered in other reviews and I agree it is a solid, introductory text at a decent price. However, I find it a little too "coffee table" for my tastes with big type and lots of pretty photos, rather than a lot of breath or depth. If you haven't been introduced to bed gardening and creating a "living" fertile soil, it would be a nice intro, but easy to outgrow (no pun intended).

Notably lacking is content on more than a couple herbs, most salad and Asian greens, as well as some of the less common crops and pest/disease situations that you might encounter. Also, while a prescriptive "how-to" guide, it doesn't educate as to the "why" of things as well as other texts I have read, which let you transfer the techniques to your own specific situations.


I'd recommend picking up a good seed catalog that is at least partially aimed at commercial growers (e.g. Territorial and/or Johnny's) both for cultural and growing suggestions, as well as knowing what cultivars are available (since most of the books are 10-20 years out of date on that), and considering instead:

Golden Gate Gardening: Year-Round Food Gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area and Coastal California -- Although written for one geography, both the general information on gardening, as well as the extensive sections on vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers make it a "go to" for me.

Grow Your Own Vegetables -- Great general information on gardening as well as tons of specific information on a very wide range of vegetables. A well-respected British author, so you have to get used to some difference in language, like "marrow" and "beetroot". Also be aware that "organic" is different in the UK, so some US practices, like insecticidal soaps, aren't covered.

Oriental Vegetables: The Complete Guide for the Gardening Cook -- If you are interested in "salad greens" or "baby greens" then this covers well a lot of the "fancy" leaves you'll find in mixes or at the market. (I don't recommend Larkcom's "Organic Salad Garden" as it is not much more than an extract from "Grow Your Own Vegetables" on high-end paper with lots of glossy pictures.)

How to Grow More Vegetables and Fruits: (And Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) (How to Grow More Vegetables: (And Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains,) -- Covers "intensive" bed gardening and has a lot of good reference information on crop timing and yields. Sometimes a little "earthy" or "preachy" in style and content, and perhaps not as well researched and supported as the above (or The New Organic Grower: A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener (A Gardener's Supply Book), for another "second" book) but worth adding to a collection (as I prefer the previous as broader, more balanced texts). Revised and reprinted regularly, so make sure this links to the most recent.

I've just retired from Corporate America and decided to take up gardening. This book has been the best purchase I've made in years. It's well organized, easy to find and follow the instructions. As a novice gardener, I've appreciated the thorough coverage of all topics. I know I will have and use this book for many years. Thank you for a wonderful gardening tool. VTD

I borrowed this book from our library a couple times this winter as I was making plans for this summer's garden. Then Spring hit and I needed it again, so I purchased it as I know it is a book that I will refer to again and again. And I have used it extensively already. It lays out all you need to know to garden using raised beds including bed preparation, soil amending, composting, watering, using trellis to have things grow up. The last part of the book gives specific information for individual vegetables and herbs, including when and how to plant, care for and harvest. It has been an invaluable resource and my garden is coming along nicely already.

I live in the northeast, so I was looking for something for my area. Excellent book. Down to earth, easy, good ideas for the average gardener. We moved our garden and I am going to try his ways. I always had a garden, but did the "old" single row ways. He shares lots of little hints that will help anyone. Good pictures. Not bogged down with extreme details. Highly recommend the book. It was just what I was looking for. I based my decision on the reviews this book got, and they are right.

I added this book to my resource library and glad I did. Lots of useful information presented in a clear and concise manner. The pictures are clear and presented in a manner that allows you to understand.

I grew up on a farm with my mother having a vegetable garden, so growing plants is not a totally foriegn concept to me, but non-the-less, it's been a while since I've "hoed a row." I read the reviews of several books, including this one, and felt confident I was getting a good "go to" book with most everything I would need to start my garden - I was so pleased to be right! I live in the MN, Zone 4, which happens to be the same Zone the author lives in. So though the specific exampels I can apply to my garden, the information is so thorough and sound, I believe the principles can be applied to any Zone! The non-traditional ideas he presents in the book make so much sense! If you want the traditional straight skinny rows your grandmother or neighbor has, this book is not for you, but if you are interested in producing more with less space this book is a must have. I am a good third into it, and I felt every page so far has plenty of good advice without being too wordy, or technical. A very easy read, I can't wait to finish it and start planning my garden!! A thanks to the author for putting his knowledge and love of gardening on paper!

I am a beginner/novice/newbie to the growing food world so I want to get myself empowered with as much info as possible.

So this is just one of an arsenal of info I'm getting.

But the book is well written, came in good condition and was very prompt on delivery

What an incredible person. Ed wrote an invaluable book. There is so much information and it is so detailed. He makes gardening easy. Read this book and it leaves the guess work out of managing your garden!

Among a whole bookshelf of gardening books, this one is by far the best reference for vegetable gardening that I have found. Some of the examples and procedures are a little more in depth than I care to go myself, but the amount of information and details are amazing. He really knows his stuff. I keep going back to it over and over and over as a guide. I originally found this book in my local library branch and now I love having my own copy.

This was a Christmas present and I spent most of the next few days reading and daydreaming. Now that Spring is around the corner, I'm planning and getting ready to plant.
This book has everything!
Now I understand why things didn't work previously - I hadn't used the right fertilizer, planted in the right sun/shade mix, or, most often, I'd planted veggies that didn't get along well right next to each other. But I approach this growing season with more optimism because this book has given me the knowledge I didn't have before.

Awesome book in a well written style! Lots of great information on starting, composting, what plants are benificial to others, what bugs/disease to watch for... Wonderful for a beginner but probably informative for a pro too.

Comprehensive and easy to read, the Vegetable Gardener's Bible is a good overview of basic gardening techniques. I particularly enjoy the chart on companion planting, the US planting zone index , the diagrams of garden plans, the information on how to sharpen garden tools, the root cellar section and the growing tips for individual vegetables, such as how to force artichokes to produce buds in the first year. This is not a glossy, coffee table gardening book with gorgeous photography, but a practical overview packed full of information. I often go to the library for gardening books, but this is one I will buy as it makes a fine reference volume.

Outstanding book. Well detailled, good tips and techniques for amateur gardeners. Covers small size crops. Terrific book.

This is a well written and well organized book. The writing style makes it easy to read and engaging. The author's perspective is from the point of view of a northern Vermont gardener, but most lessons will apply to most gardeners.

Ed's methods require a lot of hard work, he's a proponent of deep tilling, so if you're looking for some easy gardening tips, this might not work for you. But if you want to create a large, productive garden bed, Ed's methods are a good place to start.

What might be interesting to the more widely read gardeners is the contrast to some of the most recent research. Ed proposed to continue tilling the soil, but some research is calling deep tilling into question. Regardless, this book is filled with many good ideas and would be a worthwhile addition to your gardening library.

This book is excellent! I found it at the bookstore while browsing for some travelling material. Needless to say, from the minute I arrived at the airport and began reading, I could hardly contain myself. Instead of going to Florida (I'm from Wisconsin) I wanted to turn the plane around and prepare my vegetable beds for winter.

I've been gardening for several years, and have had good success. I've entered many of my vegetables in the County Fair over the last 7 years and have always walked away with at least 2 blue ribbons. I've had some great harvests over the years and canned many quarts of salsa, spaghetti sauce, etc. My point is that even those that have some experience, and have been successful in the past, can definately benefit from this book.

The book is taking my gardening to the next level. Most people begin gardening like I did, till the soil and stick the plants in. You purchase seeds from Kmart or Gurnsey and hope for the best. About 1 1/2 yrs ago, we moved to the country and have been trying to become somewhat self-sufficient. I have the land to garden and I needed to know more than most of the generic flower/vege gardening books give.

The book offers excellent reference on the most popular types of vegetables from starting the seeds to harvesting. It leaves nothing to the imagination. There's several pages dedicated strickly to tomatoes, the varieties and how to grow them. My favorite part of the vegetable rference is that Mr. Smith offers his favorite most productive varieties of each vegetables with pros/cons of each. The information is very well organized and easy to quickly find once your on the the vegetable of your choice.

The book is quite detailed concerning row covers, seed starting, composting, green manures and caring for your beds. It really takes you from the casual gardener to the serious vegetable gardener. Theres a real difference between the gardener that plants 5 tomatoe plants and the gardener that plants 40 plants. The more you grow, the more you really need to know, not only for good crops, but to save yourself precious time and money, as even starting seeds can be expensive by the time you buy the seeds, soil and containers to grow them in. The idea of raised beds, with or without support boards, and permenant walkways is great. Who wants to spend all Spring tilling up your path from last year or weeding in the walkways? It's a little more work "now" but I can see it will be much LESS work in the future. And when you have a large garden like I do, with at least 4 hours of weeding, etc. per week, every little bit helps.

I bought this book looking for ways to make my time in the garden better spent, learn more about the varieties of vegetables, which varieties to try, composting, seeding starting in detail, and of course my curiosity for raised beds - this book answered all my questions.

Buy this book, you will not be disappointed!!!

this book will be especially useful for the beginner. i've gardened for a long time, but rarely taken advice. but after reading this one, i will.

I will not regret I bought this book. Other people already said all the good things about this book. All I can add is that Mr. Smith uses photos of his own vegetable garden in his book. It really makes a book different and adds a personality to it. You can really see how he does it.

I also really like the structure of the book and vegetable description.

I got this as a gift for my husband who loves to garden. He LOVES this book. He already has gotten so many ideas for next year's garden. He thinks the W-O-R-D system is a great idea.

I was very disappointed in this book, its like he took all the info from 20 other books and compiled it, as all he talks about is what every other book has already stated.

This book not only has good information, but it is organized in a way that makes it much more convenient than many books. Each vegetable has it's own page in alphabetical order, and each has a block of the most important details such as: plant spacing, growing temperatures, seed longevity, etc... All the most important stuff is laid out in an easy to access format. I have only 2 gardening books, the handbook of gardening from the american horticultural society, and this one. I grow a lot of vegetables and find myself referencing this one more often. It would help if they released another book of this style for fruit.

I never had a garden or grew a plant of any sort before this book! It was very easy to understand and I have a garden every year now that turns out fantastic! Great for a newbie to gardening and great reference for more experienced gardeners.

Excellent content, well organized, written and illustrated. Every gardener from new to old will find plenty of "food for thought" as well as table here.

Wide Rows, Organic Methods, Raised Beds, and Deep Soil - these are the fundamental building blocks of Ed's gardening system. This is a good book, one I refer to often. I wish Ed was my neighbor so I could see his garden firsthand and talk directly to him, but this is almost as good. Lots of well done photos, taken in the author's garden throughout the growing season. There is so much information here - the basics of proper plant growth and soil preparation and preservation, garden planning, season extension, seed starting, growing food for self-sufficiency, pest and weed control, composting, harvesting and putting the garden "to sleep" for the winter - it's very comprehensive.

He finishes the book with a vegetable and herb directory that includes information on site selection, sowing the seed, suggested companion plants, specific instructions for during the growing season, harvesting, storage, winter care (when applicable) and best varieties (his personal favorites). There is also a USDA Pant Hardiness Zone Map, an American Horticultural Society Plant Heat Zone Map, a suppliers list and suggestions for further reading. Unfortunately, some of the suppliers listed were no longer in business. Those that are still in business are some of my favorites, and this where I first found out about Fedco seeds, which has become my primary seed source.

I bought this book to help me plan, and plant a vegetable garden. This book give's you such insight on how vegetable's grow and optimum nutrients, spacing and how they should look. It covers A to Z on everything you would ever need to know about planting, harvesting, and enjoying fresh grown vegetables. I would recommend this book to anyone from the novice (that would be me) to the master gardener. Lots of beautiful color photographs to show you what to look for.

Looking to have a productive vegetable garden using an organic approach with less work and more pleasure? Well, Ed Smith has figured it all out for you and presents it in a wonderfully useful book which, as the title suggests, will serve as your 'bible'.

Nothing is more satisfying than growing a self-sufficient garden! The titles of each section of the book simply summarize the book's comprehensive approach: Part 1: 'Higher Yields With Less Work'; Part 2: 'The Healthy Garden - Above and Below Ground'; and Part 3: 'Vegetables & Herbs, A-Z (Great Taste & More Variety). Ed's unique and effective methods, referred to as the "W-O-R-D," system reminds us of the Wide Rows, Organic Methods, Raised Beds, and Deeply Dug Soil that underlie everything Ed does. An amazingly simple concept filled with fresh and exciting ideas that will have you growing the biggest, healthiest, most productive graden you've ever grown and, best of all, with a mind toward stewardship of the environment.

The book is laid out in a fashion that takes you methodically through the entire process of planning, preparing and tending your garden. The text is easy to follow, complemented with attractive and demonstrative photographs and illustrations. Sections can be found with ease so that the book can serve as a quick reference throughout the process.

The concepts that support the W-O-R-D system are solid. Abiding by the philosophies and approach taken in this book will take you through decades of gardening.

This book is amazing. I have had vegetable gardens in the past, but never employed the methods descibed in this book. From preliminary planning through harvest and storing, Ed Smith describes in great detail how to have success with any size home garden. Whether you are trying to feed your entire family or you'd just like to make use of a small plot in your backyard, this book will give you the tools you need to have great harvests year after year. A must have reference for any vegetable gardener.

I've throughly enjoyed this book. This is a great book if A) you're the kind of person that wants to sit down and read a whole book on gardening before you get started or B) want to dive right in and use it as a reference. I'm a B personality myself. I've never gardened before and I already have about 100 healthy seedlings! Highly recommended!

A must for gardeners large and small. Whether you square foot, cube foot or container garden this is a must for the vegetable gardener. This book provides excellent photographs on the most popular crops and superior illustrations of the variety of bugs and their larvae both good and bad that inhabit the garden.

Calling any book a "bible" is a bit presumtuous, but not in this case! Author Smith and publisher Storey have gone above and beyond in creating the one and possibly only book every vegetable gardener should own. The content is comprehensive, accurate, and very well presented. The 300+ 8 1/2"x 11" pages are a beautifully laid out blend of text, photos, and illustrations. I've been scouring gardening books since the sixties, and this one sets a new standard. Thank you Ed and Storey!

This book is a reference manual for vegetable gardeners, particularly those gardening in northern climates. The book is organized into 3 main parts: From Seed to Harvest (covering planning, preparing beds, starting seeds, maintaining the garden, and harvesting), The Health Garden (covering soil, compost, and pests), and Vegetables & Herbs, A-Z (alphabetical guide to individual vegetables). The book is amply illustrated with color photographs and illustrations. End material includes zone maps, a list of suppliers, a list for further reading, and an index.

Smith sums up his approach to gardening in the acronym "WORD", which signifies Wide rows, Organic methods, Raised beds, and Deep soil. He's come to this approach after many years of trying many different methods, and found that this method seems to give him the best, most reliable harvest with the least effort. In this book, he explains the parts of the WORD method in detail. For example, he notes that he found rototilling actually to be counterproductive, since it tends to develop a hardpan of packed soil just under the surface. This hardpan limits root growth, which tends to stunt plants. Instead of rototilling, he advocates building deep raised beds, which provide for full root systems and better growth.

The articles in the alphabetical reference section are quite useful. Each includes a brief description of the vegetable, notes on when and where to plant, and notes on harvesting and storing. Instructions are also provided when needed about how to transplant. Each article comes with a quick reference chart that covers sowing (depth, temperature, days to germination, etc.) and growing (temperature, spacing, watering, companions, seed longevity, etc.) Overall, the book is very informative, the text is clear, and the pictures are quite helpful, making the book useful for experienced gardeners as well as beginners.

I stumbled across this book at my local bookstore and even though I ended up paying the full retail price, it was well worth it. I knew nothing about gardening before I read the book but Ed Smith's detailed instructions and nuggets of wisdom gave me the know-how to grow vegetables that exceeded my expectations. I have an urban garden in CA (zone 9a) so I'm limited on space and have high clay content in my soil, but with three 4x6x12 raised beds I can grow fantastic organic vegetables. I've probably read the book cover to cover now several times over, but I still keep finding myself flipping to the back of the book where Ed has 1-2 pages dedicated to each of the most popular vegetables. Within these sections you can find useful information such as watering conditions, when to grow seedlings, seed longevity, most popular cultivars, and many tips for sowing, growing, and harvesting. The last part of the book alone is worth the price of the book.

Great photos, great explanations and strategy for gardening....and much more! Highly recommended book and one of my favorites!

THANK YOU Mr. Smith for writing this book! I couldn't say enough about how helpful it's been to me. Wanting to be careful and do things right, since I'm a beginning gardener, this book tells in simple, everyday language with photos on how to start and keep up a vegetable garden. Here's a list of a few things it covers:

* designing your garden
* insect control
* soil care
* what veges to NOT plant with other veges
* diagrams
* lots of veges and all the info you could want about them
* herb section
* seed companies
* other recommended resources
* and MORE

Wow!! Just picked this book up and it's truly the Bible on vegetable gardening. I've been keeping a small plot for a number of years - basically employing "common sense" techniques. This book has a tremendous amount of both breath and depth but more importantly explains why certain techniques work and why other techniques do not. I'm the type of person that needs to understand the science or the why behind any claim and this book will keep me busy for years. I'm glad I purchased the hardback edition.

If you must have just one gardening book, beginner or expert, this is it. Ed covers everything from digging a new bed to putting them to sleep in the winter, all with organic principals and methods. The pictures really add to this book and make it, not only a how-to book, but a great read. Give Ed's W-O-R-D system a try...you'll never look back!

Ed Smith is a serious gardener. His approach to vegetable growing is best suited to half acre gardens in the northern areas of the United States. Smith lives and gardens in Vermont and judging by the contents (great photos as well as text) of his book, THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE, I suggest his gardening effort constitutes year-round full-time employment for him. I am a dedicated urban gardener, but one with a less than one-eighth (<1/8) acre plot of land, much of which is covered by a house and driveway. I cannot begin to use most of the material in Smith's book, however, even for urban gardeners like me, Smith provides much useful information.

My experience has shown that vegetable growing in the city has one advantage over growing vegetables in the hinterland...most of the pests that plague the countryside have not moved to town...yet! When I grew green beans on a half acre plot in the country, I fought a daily war with bean beatles. I've yet to see a bean beatle in my urban back yard. On the other hand, the larvae of the Monarch Butterfly found my parsley last year. Smith's section on pests includes something I have not seen in other gardening books..a picture of Monarch Butterfly larvae or Parsley Caterpillers as Ed calls them, munching away.

Smith is an organic gardener so he advises pest control methods that deter unwanted visitors without damaging the larger envirnoment. He also advises moving the Parsely Caterpillar out of harms' way when you battle other insects. However, the birds living in my yard consider Parsley Caterpillars a delicacy, much to the horror of my granddaughters who watched the pretty little green and yellow striped caterpillars with interest last summer as they grew bigger and bigger until one day they were discovered to have been eaten by a feathered predator who left only a few body parts in his wake.

Smith includes much that will be of interest to anyone setting out to grow vegetables for the fifteenth or first time. Although most of us don't have a green house for winter gardening, most of us do have a sunny window sill that can be used to germinate seedlings for transplanting. Most of us can compost (check out WormWoman.com on the Internet if you live in an apartment).

Smith advocates growing vegetables in (W)ide rows, (O)rganically, in (R)aised beds with (D)eep soil. Even with my small yard, I can do that. We built raised beds with timbers, and filled them with compost made entirely of yard and kitchen waste and the result is fabulous. He provides a nifty section that shows you how to construct a raised bed on a patio or balcony. You may not have a half-acre spread, but you can use Smith's Bible if you want to grow vegetables.

I started my own garden using the wide, deep, rised
bed technique described in this book and the yields were
really quite stunning. I used planks to rise my beds by
a feet.

Explains every step from designing/planning via building
and planting and taking care of your garden to harvesting
and readying for the winter.

Fabulous gardening book for the beginner and advanced
gardener. Full of wonderful tips and info about everything
vegetable garden.
