Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com:
This gardening classic was first published in 1975, and now a second generation of gardeners who prefer pest-resistant planning to chemicals will find a place for it on the shelves. Not only does it tell what to plant with what, but also how to use herbal sprays to control insects, what wild plants to encourage in the garden, how to grow fruit and nut trees, how to start small plots or window-box gardens, and much more. It’s one of the most practical books around for any gardener of edibles, no matter how serious or casual.

Expensive list, of little use by Grandma
This book is nothing more than a list that often does not contain even as much information as the free garden catalog that arrived in the mail. Save your money to spend elsewhere.

A Must Have for the Gardner’s Library by C. A. Butchko
Great book. Very informative. I highly recommend anyone who likes to garden, or even those who just want to landscape their yards.

Katy loves “Carrots love Tomatoes “ by Bret S. Oconnor
Really A good Guide… I work hard in my garden.. so I want the best results

Notthing special by N. Fleming
I was disappointed that this book offered no scientific evidence for companion planting, and offered little more information than you could easily find for free on the internet. I read this book, took a few notes and then sold it immediately. Not one for the shelf.
