    I bought the iPad version of this book because I didn't want to wait for it to ship. Lots of suggestions that I would never have considered...like how to build a "potato condo" and training dwarf fruit trees into a shady arbor. There are suggestions for minimizing eyesores like a neighbor's roofline. I found the vertical gardening concept using succulents, grasses and edibles very informative.
