5 out of 5 stars A standard for every organic gardener   December 9, 2009
J. McCoy (Twinsburg, Ohio)
11 out of 12 found this review helpful

This is an excellent reference book that I find myself constantly using. Sometimes it is in reference to a specific problem, other times, I just find it interesting to read. Most often, I will pick it up to look something specific up and then realize that 30 minutes has gone by because I have found other interesting things to read. Great, reliable, organized well, and lots of great ideas.

This book has alot of information for beginning, as well as experienced gardeners. Very informative from pest control to garden and flower beds, to harvesting and planting just about anything. Great resource book.

I am new to the organic lifestyle and am growing our first organic garden. I think this book is very useful and full of good information. I recommend it for beginners.

I found the earlier edition of this book to be the most thorough of the gardening books I have collected. It goes into greater depth. For example, it was one of the few general gardening books (as opposed to one on just berries) which mentioned the existence of June-bearing and everbearing strawberry plants, and the advantages and disadvantage of each. I look forward to getting this updated edition.

Every gardener should own this book, because, in the end, every gardener should grow organically. It's the ultimate source and resource.
