Rex,
Lucky for you, I'm doing my thesis on community gardening. Here's some of
the books that I could get a hold of. Some of them are out of print but a
library may have them. Also check Urban Agricultural Notes, city farmer web
site's listing of resources:
http://www.cityfarmer.org/communitygarden7.html#community
The general guides are listed towards the bottom. And though I don't like
buying from amazon.com, they do have a good search engine, listing out of
print books, as well as in-print ones. Sometimes you have to be very
specific with my library's search, so I do a search on amazon and then copy
and paste the isbn number from amazon's page into the search on my
library's--a very quick and easy way to find a specific book.

Subject: [cg] good community garden book?
Date: Sun, 08 Dec 2002 12:30:42 -0800
I just received funding tobuild a community garden at my school and I have a
few questions.
1. Is their a good resource book for design the layout of a community
garden/ or do I just have to peice one together using 3-4 books? (one on
irrigation, one on plants, one on raised beds, one on fence building)?
2. anyone have estimated cubic yards of compost for each 1000 sqft of new
beds? I am working on old compacted soil of slightly on the clay side of the
soil spectrum.
