Story
Of all the things humans rely on plants for - sustenance, beauty, medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber - surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: People around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. But we do not usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable.

Do you like the idea of having an orchard right outside your window but have zero ideas of where you should start? While vegetables last a season or two in the garden, most fruits, shrubs, and trees live for 10 to 50 years or more. With a little planning and guidance, you will soon be biting into mellow fruits. Many urban gardeners avoid growing fruits because they think it’s too much work and impossible to hack, but this guide will show you a way around it.

Imagine walking out of your back door, greeted by a beautiful garden full of flowers, and even more importantly, food! But for most of us, it all just sounds a bit too good to be true. The truth is, traditional gardening can be hard, extremely hard. You need a lot of space, and problems like drought, weeds, and rotting often result in very bad yields.

But if you want to figure out how to maximize your crop yield…know how to stretch your growing season beyond traditional limits…and even grow summer crops all year long…basic beginner’s guides won’t be of much help.

Traditionally, greenhouses were only for the rich. But this is not the case today. You can make your own greenhouse for next to nothing…and you don’t have to be an architect! Many people assume that growing your own food requires a certain skill, but you certainly don’t have to be a gardener! What you need is reliable knowledge from someone who started with just a handful of seeds and now uses their greenhouse to make an extra income. You need a step-by-step guide to planting, pruning, and harvesting. And most of all, you need a plan!

Book is fine if you are an absolute beginner like myself, it goes through fast the main topics, so don't expect intermediate or advanced info, but other than that I guesd it's good for 99% of the people.
