Review: More than Enough to Get You Started
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book is far from being an "ultimate" discussion of home gardening, but it does contain sufficient information to get a beginning gardener headed in the right direction plus a few topics for the intermediate level gardener who wants to expand his or her skills.The most important basic topics on gardening such as locations and preparation are in here as well as starting points for some useful information on companion planting, container gardening, hanging gardens, and growing and preserving herbs. I found the section on "Choosing Plants to Attract Birds and Butterflies" especially helpful since that is something I am just beginning to do in my own garden. The "Companion Plants to Repel Bugs" has several ideas I'm going to be trying as well.Overall this book is especially well laid out for those relatively new to gardening, but even an old hand such as myself can find new and useful information to add to my gardening enjoyment. For in-depth coverage of specific gardening or problem solving topics, you would still need to seek additional information sources, but this book is a good resource to have on hand to get you started and for future reference.Recommended.
