Bartholomew’s container garden approach might be something to try for those who want a vegetable garden but don’t have a lot of space.

Despite too much self promotion and going over board with redundancies, this book share a lot of easy to understand and practical information to get anybody gardening.
I would buy it for the appendix alone.
Good concept for home gardeners. The ideas are not new but are well organized and easy to follow.
The author is pretentious, arrogant and his writing style is like a TV infomercial. Really annoying!!
Really useful for small Chicago lots.
Highly recommend this book. I have been gardening for 30 years. During my last vacation, I read this book. This book make me excited to grow various kind of vegetables. The method in this book is really fun to try.
This is the best gardening book I have read, and this Spring/summer I have been doing a LOT of garden book reading trying to learn about gardening. I am now on a search for my own copy - I plan on following this method next year no questions asked!! This guy is a genius! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!
Great ideas I'm going to try this year. I loved his writing style; felt like he was standing next to me, guiding me step by step. I can't wait to try these ideas!
Perfect for the newbie gardener. It is chock full of inexpensive plans, useful information, and lots of enthusiasm.
Very annoying writing style, especially all the testimonials. Some good ideas perhaps, but not suited to everyone, and relies on very heavy watering and fertilization.
An easy read and quite an interesting concept, this Square Foot Gardening. Wouldn't work for me, but that doesn't diminish the value of the ideas in the book.
