Negative Positive
Title: One dimensional and incomplete
Review: I ordered this book because I have a ranch in Central Texas where I raise pastured beef and market it direct. I am also setting up potager gardens to offer fresh vegetables and herbs, in addition to unusual plants well suited for Texas' hot summers, be they native or not (native is relative, in my mind, but that's a whole other topic). Since my ultimate goal is to move the ranch in the direction of permaculture, I thought this book might be useful on how to incorporate some plants into that and the Potager garden design. I was somewhat disappointed. There isn't much at all about shrubs, whether or not one is interested in standard urban landscaping or something more biodynamic.Also many plants, including shrubs and trees, are edible which the author really didn't delve into either.Never the less, as I research what types of plants fit certain niches in what I am trying to do, I am sure I will refer to this book from time to time.
Is the review positive or negative?
