Confidence to try again!!
Book is very informative, yet concepts presented in easy to understand format--many pictures to illustrate. I have a huge garden which I have put a lot of time into over the years. Living in AZ, if you do not get everything right (especially the watering and weed/grass control) it is tough to get through to harvest time, especially in the summer.
We have built block planters (closed bottom with drip water system on a timer) and are ready now to try again. Obtaining the ingredients for Mel's Mix in bulk was a challenge. Decided to substitute coconut coir for most of the peat moss (more renewable). Found a great soil mix at Western Organics (Gro Well Brands) in Phoenix that had most of what I wanted for $32.50/Yd called their Premium Potting Soil. It contains compost, humus (earthworm castings), bark fine, lava rock sand (very light) and some vermiculite (close to 5%). I ordered some 4 cu ft bags of vermiculite to add into it (greenhousemegastore) 6 bags for $41 plus shipping--ended up being way less expensive than anything I could find locally. Our local Summer Winds Nursery had the coconut coir blocks (11 lb. block for $12). I found it online for $10 (after hours of searching) but add the shipping and you are close to $20/block. A block expands to 2.5 cu ft.
Can't wait to get started!
