I just finished reading "Pest control for organic gardening" and I must say I am really impressed with Amber's work here! For the compact size, I'm amazed at how much information this book has. This is a no-fluff, concise, helpful guide!My favorite section of the book was her section on slugs. The information is extensive here, and her recipes for slug prevention are simple, but I am confident they will be effective. I am looking forward to trying them!As an amateur gardener striving to grow everything organically, I have had a hard time knowing how to react when I see a particular insect in my garden. My knee-jerk reaction is to pick the bug off and squash it, but I know that I will be referencing this book before I do anything from here!I can't help but notice some of the reviews which suggest that her section on home-brewed 'pesticides' doesn't have any actual recipes, and this simply isn't true. Perhaps they could be formatted to look a little more like a proper 'recipe,' with all ingredients laid out first followed by instructions, but the information is still there and is quite helpful! This book is going to be a great addition to my bookshelf!
