I strongly recommend it. Not ony does she go over how to get the most out of your space, but she also talks about how to build layers in your garden and mimic a forest, how to use fences, trellises etc., and even includes a whole stack of great recipes to use your produce once you've grown it. It's available <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Backyard-Self-Sufficiency-Jackie-French/dp/0947214240" rel="nofollow"><b>at Amazon</b></a> and she also has <a href="http://www.jackiefrench.com/backyard.html" rel="nofollow"><b>a website</b></a>. I find the book invaluable. I don't recommend many books, but I do this one!

Looks awesome!
