The $64 Tomato

The $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden by William Alexander

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a very lighthearted look at the romantic idea of living off the land and growing your own food. The author has a regular job and his garden is his hobby so eating locally isn't his full time job/obsession/ gimmick for a book idea.



Anyone who has tried to garden or grow anything in a rural or some suburban area will appreciate his battles with the deer and the woodchucks.



Its an easy, quick read and I think a good book for anyone that would like to get "back to the land".
