Essential tools for successful vegetable growers Often overlooked by both home and market gardeners, the right farm and garden tools are essential for cultivating success. Vegetable Garden Tools: A Grower's Guide will help you select the appropriate equipment for your unique situation, drawing on "The Market Gardener Method."

This highly accessible, succinct, and beautifully illustrated full-color handbook features: Recommendations for garden tools and implements for every stage of cultivation—from soil preparation and sowing to planting, crop maintenance, and harvesting.

Specific advice and tips to get the most out of your garden tools and farm equipment, whether you are using them in a family garden or on a diversified market farm.
