It had information about the French intensive method of planting, companion planting, interplanting and had zone information for different regions. It was just awesome and I'm sure I let someone borrow it who never returned it (will never happen again!). Does anyone recognize the book I'm referring to? Do I have the title right?

I think more people would appreciate the concept of the French intensive method - I get aggravated every time I see a row of plants Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have mine from the 90's but amazon has it $16.50 and I think it was updated in 2005. I have used mine so much the cover is falling off. It's a great book. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Both books are AMAZING and I have found every page to be filled to the margin with useful information. Many of the editions can be found on amazon, though I suggest getting one of the newer editions because they contain all the information from previous publications with new material added.

I just looked and there are quite a few Rodale books, used starting at $2.99 and new at $12.86 although there is shipping. I've found lots of "lost" books there and the shipping usually is minimal. I just used Rodale for the keyword and Organic Gardening for the subject. It's a great site for finding books! Quote \| Reply \| Report
