This is a link to the 9th edition. We have the 7th edition and LOVE IT! That said, comments here are about the 7th edition, but we assume the newer edition is even better.
If you are someone who likes charts and details, this is your book. The author has definitely done some research which is evidenced by the huge bibliography and resource list. An interesting feature of the book is the detail that the author goes into regarding soil, soil preparation, compost, and fertilization. There is a section to help you plan your garden and an entire chapter dedicated to companion planting.
If you want to understand the grow biointensive method for sustainable gardening, start with this book. This is one book that belongs in your gardening library.

We are full time homesteaders at Pioneer Mountain Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. We have a sawmill, produce garden, honeybees, layer hens, laying ducks, pigs, and goats. We provide boat and camper storage to nearby visitors of Raystown Lake and sell firewood and lumber in south central Pennsylvania. Our journey is to be as self-reliant as we can be; to live as much as we can from the resources we have at hand; to effectively be productive with as minimal environmental impact as possible; to raise food in an organic manner; and to give back to our community through education or demonstration. We are always learning, as well. Life is always an adventure! We enjoy learning from others and seeing what other people are doing as well. – Bren and Chuck
