Consider Gardening When It Counts by Steve Solomon.
“A detailed, pragmatic manual for backyard food self-sufficiency aimed at North American gardeners who need high yields with minimal water and cash. It opens by arguing why cheap-oil decline changes what counts as sensible gardening, then pivots into dense, hands-on guidance on bed layouts, soil preparation, watering economy and crop choices. The useful part is concrete plans that lower input costs and boost reliable yields. The limit: a prescriptive, often opinionated tone, repetition of core claims, and advice tailored to temperate North American conditions.”
