Growing on just one and a half acres, owners Jean-Martin and Maude-Helène feed more than 200 families through their thriving CSA and seasonal market stands and supply their signature mesclun salad mix to dozens of local establishments. The secret of their success is the low-tech, high-yield production methods they've developed by focusing on growing better rather than growing bigger, making their operation more lucrative and viable in the process.

Oh Diego, you're killin me!

I love Diego Footer's YouTube channel, and he knows a ton about the topic of market gardening, but his narration is difficult to listen to.
The book is great. Its second only to Eliott Coleman's " The New Organic Grower"
I've found that a physical copy is really necessary to put these ideas into practice.
Edit: OK so Diego grew on me after listening to the book twice. Now, on my third listen, I feel like we're old friends and I shouldn't have critiqued him harshly.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 179
Though she has blossomed into a beauty, Lily Christner doesn't really believe it. Deep down she still feels like a lonely, gawky teenager. Maybe that's why she's all but promised herself to Paul Glick, the one boy who never teased her in her awkward girlhood, unlike Dan Kanagy, whose creative name-calling left her in tears many a time.

The story was fine, but the narrator mispronounced the name of the male protagonist over and over. I stuck it out and finished the book.

Thumbs down for the narrator

The narrator mispronounced dozens of simple words. It drove me crazy but I finished the book.

The Aldens are helping save an old library that's about to be torn down. If they fix it up, it might be given landmark status! But after all their hard work, it's very clear someone is trying to destroy the library. But who?

Would you listen to The Deserted Library Mystery again? Why?
This book had one significantly frightening part towards the end. I would not recommend this for younger listeners. The style differs greatly from the first 19 books written by the original author. To be specific one of the characters is under direct physical threat from the antagonist. This caught us off-guard as it is not the usual style of these books.
