Product Description Over 400 entries of the most practical, up-to-date gardening information ever, collected from garden experts and writers nationwide!
"Gardens are places to renew yourself in mind and body, to reawaken to the truth and beauty of the natural world, and to feel the life force inside and around you. And the organic way to garden is safer, cheaper, and more satisfying. Organic gardeners have shown that it's possible to have pleasant and productive gardens in every part of this country without using toxic chemicals. They make their home grounds an island of purity."--Robert Rodale

lot of pages little info May 14, 2009 jazzguy (wisconsin u.s.a.) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
this is a big book but the info is as basic as it gets common sence will give you all the knowledge this book has to offer worth $5.00 with shipping. pay any more and it's a rip off
WOW! Great general reference. January 10, 2009 WYOmom (Wyoming, USA) For me this is a great general reference book and usually the first one I go to when I have a gardening related question. It has helped me identify common pests and learn to treat them all without yucky pesticides. This has been especially helpful to me since I moved across the country and from USDA zone 9 to zone 4 - the problems and issues are VERY different.
My 10 year old son has also taken an interest in gardening and he will also often get this out so we can get some general info about a specific plant or problem.
Excellent Resource! September 27, 2008 Christopher J. Stanonis (Cobleskill, NY) Simply put this is an amazing book! The new version (1992) is much better written than the older version I own (1975). Of course having more than one can give you different perspectives.

very informative whether you have just one potted plant or an acre of garden blooming in your backyard July 6, 2008 Tina Hayes (Kentucky, USA) This is a great book, very informative whether you have just one potted plant or an acre of garden blooming in your backyard. It touches on just about any topic imaginable, including composting, rose care, types of garden pests and how to deter them, and tips on growing flowers, vegetables, and herbs. The information easy to understand and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book, and it would make a great gift for anyone aspiring to have a green thumb.
