About This Book

This practical guide explains how to plan, plant, and maintain a one-acre kitchen garden, advising on site selection, soil improvement, drainage, and layout with a diagram. It gives step-by-step culture for common vegetables, recommends reliable varieties, and describes hotbed construction, crop rotation, cultivation techniques, and methods for storing roots and forcing early crops. The text also covers routine management—tools, watering, and pest control—and includes a companion essay on salads, herbs, and perennial arrangements, with illustrations to aid identification and execution.
