Square Foot Gardening - Mel Bartholomew

Easy and low-maintenance method.  Very close plant spacing, raised beds.

Gardening When it Counts - Steve Solomon

Focus on reliably growing food when you have no resources available, like water or fertilizer.   Recommends wide plant spacing.  How to make your own organic fertilizer and compost.  Lots of insight about seed companies and where to buy seed from.

Recommends double digging each year.  (I'm against this practice personally)
