Customer Reviews

This book is absolutely amazing We used to have gardens when I was little but, typical child that I was, I hated it and did not pay any attention. Now I am slowing down and want to do more than plant flowers (although I am not giving them up either) and don't know a darn thing about what to plant where. That is where this book comes in!
It has practical tips about what to plant together to balance the nutrients. What plants need the same amount of water and sun (so you don't plant a sun lover in the shade!). And it is so easy to find what you are looking for in a matter of minutes not hours (like some books I have looked at). Plus it doesn't assume you know all of the terminology of gardening (as if I know what air layering, complete flowers, dormant oil, soil sterilizing, and sweating plants are--just to name a few one book I picked up used).
This book is a must read for the basic beginner gardener who just wants to know what plants repel what pests and what should be planted where. It is a great, no-frills instruction manual that is user friendly. I would recommend it to anyone (except people who actually know what sweating plants are, and they probably don't need a guide anyway!).

Well I think this book is FULL of information, and is not rigid in any way as in, you don't have to read chapter to chapter! And that's good, but their is lots of text, if you are looking for a colorful book full of interesting well drawn diagrams etc... this is not the book for you! But if you are looking for text than this is your book. I was just hoping for a little bit more. Anyway it's a great reference and I suggest if you need to buy a book on a budget this is your book! HAPPY GARDENING
