With trying to be better about what I eat and where I get it from I really appreciate this book. It's easy to follow, fun to read and I'm really learning alot. Would recommend to anyone on a similar journey!

Grow More Food is a tutorial and technique guide to maximizing yields for vegetable gardeners no matter what size garden they have. Due out 1st Feb 2022 from Storey, it's 304 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

This is such a well written and understandable guide to choosing the right varieties, planning for the seasons, succession plantings, and most of all maximizing production. The layout is logical and easy to follow and so much of what the authors say is so sensible. The chapters cover planning and record keeping, soil building, choosing the right varieties for the intended purpose (including a good subsection on hand pollination for max yields), setup propagation & irrigation, season extenders & storage.

The authors write knowledgeably and authoritatively. The chapters flow well into one another and I found it unnecessary to constantly flip back and forth, which was appreciated. The book is beautifully illustrated and photographed throughout. This book is full of lists, charts, worksheets, and notes for readers to customize and use in their unique situations. The authors do a good job of giving general advice which readers can pick and adjust. They've included a brief but useful resource list (aimed at readers in the USA/North America, but also usable by readers outside NA), as well as a short metric conversion chart and cross referenced index (not available in the pre-release ARC provided for review).

Five stars. This is a solidly reliable and beautiful guide which will certainly become a classic. I would recommend this one for public and school library acquisition, gardening and maker's groups, community garden/allotment libraries, or possibly as a nice gift for a young gardener bundled with some seeds and supplies and the promise of a few hours of help/mentoring. Many of the worksheets and charts will also be useful for smallholders and self-sufficiency gardeners.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This is an amazing book for gardeners, new and experienced!

It gives you ideas and tools to plan and organise your garden as well as information on many of vegetables, when to sow and how long they take to harvest etc

This book intends to help you maximise the amount of food you grow and prolong your harvest by planting on time and more often (for e.g. succession planting) and i can't wait to utilise all the information i've been given!

I would love to also buy the physical copy as i know this something i'd love to go back to again and again!

This is a thorough and easily understood guide to growing your own food. I've been growing a bit of food every year for about 6 years, but curious as to why I wasn't getting the yields I did a few years ago. It turns out I was making a lot of mistakes and now I will be able to put the knowledge I learned while reading this book to use! A great resource - I will probably buy this book in a couple years when I feel like I can devote more time to growing food. A must buy for anyone wanting to put together a working food garden. I took 8 pages of notes while reading. It's wonderful.

Thank you to Netgalley!

Whoever the reader is of this book, whether you are new to growing food or you're experienced in growing vegetables, you are guaranteed to find this book useful. The book is ordered into helpful sections which illustrate how to plan your gardening, get the best out of your soil and the seeds you use and even how to extend your harvest. Each section has useful charts you can refer to time and time again like annual crop lifespans, planting calenders and harvest tracking. It's a brilliant resource that belongs on every gardener's shelf.

Thanks to the authors, publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to review an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great guide and gave me a lot of tips and pointers that I didn't already know. I think my indoor and outdoor gardens will really benefit from this book and what it has to offer.

Such a comprehensive book. If you have any questions about gardening, you'll most likely find the answer in this book. The book is organized well and has a wealth of information, charts, worksheets, and pictures. There is information on planning, obtaining a healthy soil, increasing crops, and storing your harvest. I was particularly interested in the cover crop and crop rotation information. A good how-to book for beginning gardeners and a must have reference book for seasoned gardeners.

This is a good book for all levels of gardeners. There's enough information for beginners to get started, and some tricks even expert gardeners may not have thought of yet.

A very detailed book on gardening.

Will be very helpful to everyone - novice to experts in gardening

This is a very good gardening book. The author covers all the different aspects of gardening from planning right through the harvest. There are many good tips and I seeds to plant.
The author also gives a template for planting calendar and all the many places that sell seeds and gardening equipment. I found this book to be very helpful in the garden and I recommend it for those who are into gardening and want a very complete look on gardening.
I received this book NetGalley for a unbiased review.

Really well set up guide to gardening with good tips on scheduling, mapping, and logging as well as the more physical aspects of soil health.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is such a useful resource with great charts and suggestions on how to improve your growing. It’s well worth a read for anyone interested in this area! Highly recommended.

Grow More Food is a very informative book on gardening. So packed with information! A great reference book in regards to everything gardening from where to locate a garden to what crops to plant and everything in between! All of the colorful pictures, graphs and charts make it very easy to learn proper gardening techniques that increase your crops, thus your food production! I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for giving me a chance to review this book! I have two small raised beds and am always trying to figure out how to fit more in them. This book gave me the opportunity to understand how to space out my vegetables so that I can have a continual crop throughout the summer and fall! If you have smaller containers for your vegetables this may be the book for you. Check it out!

Thank you for the advanced copy of this.

What a fantastic book, I have really got into using my trugs this year and now have an allotment. I have book marked lots of this to go back over to help me plan and sort for next year

Highly recommend

Tons of great ideas and lots of useful info in here - I bookmarked a bunch of pages and plan to refer to them when preparing my seeds, soil and garden plans for next year.

This is an incredibly thorough and helpful gardening book that covers everything you can think of to make the most out of your home garden. It's borderline overwhelming but in the best way. Full color photos and charts are in abundance. Definitely recommended.

Thanks to Net Galley for a temporary digital ARC for review purposes.

Very good book which gives practical help on growing your own products in your garden. Looking forward to putting into practice the things I have learnt.

Grow More Food is an amazingly comprehensive book on every aspect of growing, harvesting and storing vegetables, so much so that I am buying my own copy even though I was allowed to view a pre-production copy through NetGalley. The Garden Planning Worksheets and Charts section alone justifies the cost of the book. After inputting the desired number of weekly servings of each vegetable, the spreadsheets populate cells showing the number of plants needed and the number of row feet required to reach that goal through succession planting. Truly a book no serious vegetable gardener should go without! I give this book my highest recommendation.

I consider myself a pretty avid gardener, but prior to reading this one, I had not read a gardening book. So happy this one was my first! I loved the organization of this book and the ease of reading, nothing too wild or unattainable about the tips and tricks talked about between these electonic kindle pages. Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing, LLC for a copy of this book for an honest review.
