QuestionWhat are the top 10 garden books you would recommend for a vegetable gardener in Indiana?
AnswerMy favorites in order of preference are as follows:
1. Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew
2. Lasagna Gardening by Patricia Lanza
3. Rodale's Garden Answers
4. Rodale's Chemical-Free Yard and Garden
5. Seed-Starter Handbook by Nancy Bubel
6. The Midwest Fruit & Vegetable Book by James Fizzell
7. Rodales Pest & Disease Solver
8. 1,001 Old-Time Garden Tips by Roger Yepsen
9. Burpee Complete Gardener
10.The Experts Book of Garden Hints by Rodale Press
11.Gardening Secrets by Charles W.G. Smith
The one book I use for reference material is Rodale's All-New Encylclopedia of Organic Gardening.
I hope this helps. As you can see, I'm a big fan of Rodale Press due to their large selection of books dealing with chemical-free gardening. Most of these books are available on-line or at any reputable book store.

Mike
