New Vegetable Garden Techniques

New Vegetable Garden Techniques by gardening expert and educator Joyce Russell is a technique and theory gardening manual covering a skills based troubleshooting system for improving yields and results for the home gardener.

Released 16th April 2019 by Quarto on their White Lion imprint, it's 192 pages and available in flexibound paperback and ebook formats. 

The book includes tutorial chapter containing 23 projects. These range from very simple and quickly executed (microgreens), to more involved (handmade hanging baskets from found materials). All are gardening related. The tutorials are gathered into 4 sections: getting started, improving soil, better produce and better harvests. Each main section also includes generalized information relating to the subject.

There is a glossary and index included and the eARC version of the book includes an interactive table of contents, which is handy.

The photography is well done and supports and illustrates the text very well. The tutorials are clear and easy to follow. The information contained in the book is general in nature, there is no discussion about hardiness zones or micro-climates, and will be appropriate for gardeners in most temperate regions.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
