Hello I tried posting this thread on /diy/ but perhaps this board is more appropriate.

I want to buy a book on vegetable/herb/fruit growing since its something I want to get into. Ideally it should be one huge tome full of everything I need but one introductory book + one advanced seems reasonable too.

I have tried googling some recommendations but have not found anything that I like, most books seem to be full of pictures but little useful information. Can anyone suggest anything?

Also nothing like that exists per se. Also, most books are pushing only 1 type of gardening technique. It is better to get your info from a great range of books or simply from online. It needs to be tailored to your vegetables, climate/environment, and scale.

You can find a .pdf of John Seymour's The complete book of self-sufficiency.

It's a little old fashioned but an interesting read, and covers all the basis so you have a good working knowledge of the whole system and the interplay between different elements.

This has tons of good stuff in it. So does the Vegetable Gardener's Bible.

>google around a bit, there's a pdf version of an older edition of that encyclopedia available online free
