I see lots of references to "SFG", and he's also on my list from 2009: http://happyfarming.com/2009/05/17/top-50-food-growing-people/ @Vince: Thank you for the tip about Mel Bartholomew’s book.

I too use raised beds (wood) for years and will now go to concrete block (split face) for a more permanent landscaped structure. In your general review and in particular the portion of what you 'didnt like' about this book I note, between the lines, you may be familiar with Mel Bartholemews instructions in "Square Foot Gardening". In my view he is the father or modern urban gardening. It would be my recommendation to any gardener novice or otherwise to have his book has the basis from which all backyard gardening should be based. What ever materials you choose to use to construction your garden, his phylosophy should be at the center. I considered buying this book but have decided I can figure it out on my own.
