What book would you suggest I pick up this fall to help educate me on growing AG's? Would like something that takes me from soil prep to harvest. Thanks

I agree with all of these suggestions but also get some of the videos Joel Holland, Jim Beauchemin put out and the Pbs video starring Joe pukos and the gang. Much can be learned from these just seeing the different patches.

Book one is outdated, book 2 is perfect, and book 3 is for advanced growers and info. Even book 3 has become outdated to some degree. It is time for book 4!!!! Make it a beginners section, and a section for advanced growers. End it with todays heavy hitters and a special section on niagara.

I have book 2. I learned a lot from it. I especially like the fertilizing schedule that it has inside. I followed it this year and I've had good results so far.
Good luck

I too liked book 2 as the most instructive to a new grower. I have both 2 and 3 and refer to them over and over during the season.
