Bookgrrl,
I have to admit that I misunderstood what this book was about。 Based on the cover and title I thought it was more of a memoir style, and would contain stories about the author’s experiences on her farm。 However, this is really a how-to on setting up your own small farm (not really applicable to a home garden)。 Thank you to NetGalley for this advance reader copy。 All opinions are my own。

Tiny, but mighty indeed! The author describes how she, not having grown up on a farm but coming from a family of avid "backyard gardeners", gave her the bug to try making food and growing things in general。 Over the course of time she becomes more drawn to gardening and it turns into farming。 She meets someone who supports her goal of self a sustaining homesteading, and out of it a business is made。 Ragan discusses everything from soil content to structural design and from supplies needed to tur Tiny, but mighty indeed!

T Olsen,
Fantastic book, with a wealth of information and beautiful layout and illustrations。 If you'd like to produce your own vegetables, this book won't stay much on a bookshelf, and it will look good on any table。The book has a nice personal touch, even though I find the authors' message a little unrealistic。 Our food isn't all vegetables, and personal gardening isn't efficient enough for our society。 But if you are concerned with food quality, this is a book for you。 Fantastic book, with a wealth of information and beautiful layout and illustrations。 If you'd like to produce your own vegetables, this book won't stay much on a bookshelf, and it will look good on any table。The book has a nice personal touch, even though I find the authors' message a little unrealistic。 Our food isn't all vegetables, and personal gardening isn't efficient enough for our society。 But if you are concerned with food quality, this is a book for you。 。。。more
