Up front I was one of the people who provided feedback on this book before it was published I received a free copy in exchange I'm pleased to see all my feedback was includedSometimes when you read a book it sounds like the author The book sounds like Paul I enjoyed the aspects of humor including the phrase “possibly point and laugh” on the copyright page Other elements of humor that made me smile included “the cancer fairy” “My guess is that the boat was afraid of the dark” “dirty cup CSI” and “it's not like the tree will run away while you are chasing it with a chainsaw”Parts of the book assume you have land Even in those parts I learned something like “carrot poop” exudates and the “volunteer tomato” vs the “pampered tomato” Other parts of the book apply to everyone including shampoo It was also nice seeing diatomaceous earth covered in the book this was the answer to a uestion a close family member had years agoMost of the book was easy to read There were some parts that were hard because I can’t relate And the vocabulary is tougher For example I know what a berm is but I still need to think about it That’s said I was able to follow all the parts which I wasn’t expecting going in The parts that apply to everyone were easy to followI also like how the book is meant to be passed around rather than kept forever My copy is signed so I'm keeping that one But PaulShawn sent me copies I was sure to donate a copy to the local library Best way I can think of to pass a book around
