THIS ONE HAS MADE MY LIFE MUCH SIMPLER September 29, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I simply am not sure if I could garden without this one. This is one of the best, most comprehensive works addressing the hundreds of problems one who grows plants encounters. I particularly find the section of plant disease most helpful. The discriptions and photos are be best that I have found in any work and the solutions, when there is a solution, is always quite on the money and most helpful. The text is not overly technical and easy to follow. The book is arraigned and organized in a way that you can actually find what you need. Unlike many such publications, Ortho does not exclusively push their own products (they do, but not to the point of being obnoxious about it) and I find this rather refreshing. They also are quick to point out that if a problem is a lost cause, then it is a lost cause. I appreciate that too. I am quite glad I have this one in by collection of plant care books and do highly recommend it.

This is a great way to identify the destruction and disease in the garden. The photos help make identification postitve. Whether one acts on the recommendations or not is immaterial--knowledge is power. This book is chemically oriented, organic growers be advised, but still worthwhile as a diagnostic tool.

This is one of those books that they should advertise as, "If you only own one gardening book, this should be it". I love it. Answers all sorts of questions on all sorts of plants. It would make a great gift for anyone into gardening.
