Ever heard of the "sandwich system" of vegetable gardening? Neither had I until I stumbled across this latest acquisition to our library while reading Gene Logsdon's The Contrary Farmer's Invitation to Gardening. The preface to Albaugh's Home Gardening is worth reading for inspiration and the "sandwich system" is definitely something I will try in my garden this spring.
Perhaps best of all, Albaugh's experience and advice originate from central Ohio, which means they should be very directly applicable to Tumbledown Farm.
