I checked out the Rodale book but didn't pick it up.
I do now have Gaia's Garden, The New Organic Grower and Smart Permaculture Design, along with The Organic Gardener's Handbook of Natural Pest and Disease Control (or something like that), a book on companion planting, and what's probably going to be most important for me, the Week-by-week Vegetable Gardener's Handbook.
My goal right now is to see what I can do as far as efficiently and relatively easily growing organic fruits and veggies for us to eat. If I do well, I want to go slightly chickenman, get organic certification from the CCOF to then go on to sell my produce. Assuming I do well, that is.
