Summary

Its one thing to clear a piece of land move the rocks, rake the soil, and protect it with a fence. It's another to bring it to life with berry-bearing bushes, exuberant tubers, vigorous vegetables, and many splendored flowers. It's that second thing that Arthur Boers has done, he's taken a theory and made it fruitful." Book jacket.
