I'm fairly certain such an encyclopedia doesn't exist yet.
I can't make specific book recommendations as word of mouth is usually how my family did it, and they traded furniture/tobacco/grapes/melons... and occasional angled fish, for soap smile

The word of mouth these days is to contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for recommendations, like say California Master Gardener Handbook
