Having read many books on marketing, I feel qualified enough to tell you that this book delivers much good marketing advice. In this book there are many examples of what successful market gardeners have done. If you want to "sell what you grow", this is a good place to start. There are also some good gardening tips included. There are many books that you should read if you want to establish a 'minifarm' or market garden, and this is definately one of them.

The Compact Tractor Bible (Country Workshop) Review

The Compact Tractor Bible (Country Workshop)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was mislead by the title and believe that this book should more accurately be called the Compact Tractor Primer instead of "Bible". The scope of info is large but the depth is shallow. The writing is excellent and the material is presented in a very readable manner, but being new to owning a tractor I was looking for an in depth reference that went well beyond my owners manual. I was disappointed that this book spent most of it's pages exploring an extremely wide variety of small farm, landscaping and construction machinery and less time examining the maintenance and use of what most people consider a "compact tractor", i.e.: a mini tractor with a PTO and 3 point hitch. If you don't know what's available or exactly what you need for your small scale task you may find this book helpful. This thin book took me an evening to skim the relevant paragraphs and will end up at the local book store for sale.

Anyone looking to buy a piece of compact power equipment is faced with a bewildering array of choices-more than 80 brands of compact tractors offered in North America, not to mention the profusion of models within those brands. Written by an unbiased expert for residential and small-farm owners, contractors, and professionals who work with compact tractors, this book makes sense of these choices with clear, objective evaluations of the price, power, parts, and performance of particular machines.
