I grew up on a farm, but had not had a garden in 25 years, so my skills were a little rusty. After becoming acquainted with Marjorie's Food Production systems, I once again tackled a garden in my yard. I started small, 8 X 16, and then enlarged the next year to 16 X 16. With the DVD, and a few basic tools and a willingness to work, I have been able to produce numerous spring and fall crops that we enjoy, and share with neighbors. I think this DVD series is an excellent tool for anyone, novice or pro. It is easy to understand and apply what Marjorie teaches. Good Stuff!
