One well-planned acre can feed a family generously. E. D. Darlington lays out a kitchen garden of a single acre: choosing the site and soil, laying it out, building hotbeds and cold frames, and stocking the tool shed. A complete blueprint for intensive home growing. Turn one acre into a year-round larder.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
