 Excellent Reference Book March 27, 2008
Once again Ortho has produced an invaluable reference book for the serious or amateuer gardener. This book has so much crucial information in it that can help anyone turn a black thumb into a green one. I would not be without it!

The Ortho Problem Solver, Sixth Edition (Ortho Problem Solver)
The most-used gardening manual I own. Sure, they are going to promote their products, but the general information and the pictures are first rate.

From amateur to pro, this text of gardening problems, from the most delicate plant and flowers to the most complicated forms of trees and shrubs, this book covers all. Also as a hardbound, it is an excellent additon to any library.
I have yet to find a better book for all around use for pros and amateurs.

I have a chemical lawn/tree & shrub business, and I use it. The only negative I can see is that the Home Gardener's Problem Solver covers most of this book for $30. That said, I gave my techs the home gardener's version and kept this one for myself.
 Comprehensive except for lack of Organic control methods August 14, 2002

"The Ortho Problem Solver" is a wonderful reference book on pests, fungus', etc and controlling them with inorganic methods. Of course, Ortho is not known for organic pest control, but I still feel that maybe they should include this information considering that many that wish to control certain pests also live in wildlife areas--such as areas where there are birds, or are environmentalists or oriented towards this area when it comes to certain issues such as vegetables and fruit. Environmentally correct methods do often work. Some will do nothing about pests no matter what because they fear any interruption in the wildlife. I purchased the book because of the information it has in a variety of other areas--soil PH, lists of pests/fungus/other and photos of the damage they do, and overall general information. It is a very interesting and comprehensive reference book. It has a good layout with several sections.
