Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Craig's Straw bale book has been released!

The individual seems to have an issue with EVERYONE who writes on the subject. Most every book on the matter at Amazon has a 1-star review from this fellow. Not something worth loosing any sleep over... in my opinion.

I'm still reading over my copy... (Thanks Craig!) and will post an honest review when done. However, I've already noticed a key aspect to Craig's book that justifies the "need for a new one" on this subject. Similar to Epic Tomatoes, this book gives an accurate and reliable impression of what to expect when using this method to grow vegetables. It sets a realistic threshold of expectations and how to achieve those, rather than claiming miraculous results with minimal effort. A refreshing tone and much appreciated!
