  • Great organic book.
Format: Paperback
If you are a organic gardener and are not interested in chemicals, this is the book for you. I have not seen any mention of chemicals so far. This book starts off with information about a healthy soil. It talks about composting and cover crops to get healthy soil. From that point, it starts going into details by vegetable, fruit or nut. Once you get to a specific plant, it talks about the culture, problems for that plant, how to solve the problem organically and to avoid the problem in the future. This book has quite a lot of pictures of pests and diseases. While some pictures are small, a magnifying glass will help since the pictures have a lot of detail Most should be fine without a magnifying glass. This book has a lot of information in it for a fairly small book. The font used is good enough that I can read it without resorting to using a magnifying glass. If you have vision problems like I do, this should be readable. ... show more

  • Great Organic Book
Format: Paperback
This book help me learn the bad and the good in bugs. Which ones to crush and which ones help. How to prevent, control, and stop the bad of diseases and insects. This is a great go to book and every gardener should have it. The book has good pictures for an easy identification. The book is really easy to flip though. You can go either by plant to find what attacks it or you can go straight to bugs to see what damage it does. My only complaint is the limitation of bugs it covers. There have been bugs in the garden where I go to look it up in the book and it wasn't there like the bean leaf beetle, but no doubt either way I would still buy it because of how useful the information is. Hope this helps :) ... show more

  • Sometimes what seems to be the enemy becomes a best friend.
Format: Paperback
IMHO the most important gardening issue is protecting friends such as toads, tree frogs, bats, bees, butterflies, garden spiders, and the amazing beneficial earthworms. This book is fairly easy to follow and enjoyable to read. I am making a new raised organic garden which I will share my bounty with all creatures. I'm enjoying this book and find it a pleasure to read and become better educated so I will hopefully not do any harm to the beneficial insects. and hopefully grow the most healthy fruits and vegetables. I enjoy the photography and the style of the author. ... show more
