Midwest Book Review
Revised and expanded is a new edition of a classic gardening guide. Here master grower Coleman presents a simple, effective formula for growing quality organic vegetables, updating details on marketing harvests and using small-scale equipment.

Synopsis
This volume focuses on organic gardening. Coleman examines "the pros and cons of various planting techniques, methods of crop rotation, and pest controls. . . . {He also} discusses marketing methods for small farmer." (Sci Books Films) Index.

From The Publisher
Those who have loved and used Eliot Coleman's original The New Organic Grower will be glad for the opportunity to revisit the master to learn of his latest thinking on every aspect of organic gardening. Those who are newly acquainted with Coleman will find this revised, expanded edition an incomparable source of inspiration, good sense, and practical advice that includes a fully revised chapter on organic pest management, more than sixty new illustrations, an updated, comprehensive, annotated bibliography listing indispensable sources for serious growers, and an appendix of updated tools and supplies.

Reviews
From Patricia Kite - Science Books & Films 
{This work} targets the small-acreage, 'economically viable' potential orimproving farmer, but is equally valuable to the home gardener interested in boosting vegetable production. A detailed chapter on medium to large-scale tillage equipment, such as the broadfork and walking tractor, provides useful information seldom found in generic garden tomes. Easy-to-follow advice on low-cover, greenhouse, and walk-in tunnel construction helps growers extend seasonal crops. . . . I've got over 300 garden books in my home library, and The New Organic Grower provides valuable information not found in any of them. This book is a must-have for the vegetable gardener, regardless of the size of his or her garden.
