The Truth About Organic Gardening: Benefits, Drawbacks, and the Bottom Line
“I’ve come away from this book—a reference text masquerading as a beach read—with hands-on knowledge that is just plain useful. The book gives you the facts about synthetic and organic techniques and encourages you to do further research, then make educated decisions about your own garden.” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)“One green book that isn’t buying into the hype.”(The Washington Post)“Jeff Gillman is a voice of reason.”(Garden Compass)“Both these books [The Truth About Organic GardeningandThe Truth About Garden Remedies] are refreshing, lucid and enlightening. Their spare style, with no illustrations, and concentration on facts rather than ‘inspiration’ even gives them an old-fashioned charm.”"[Gillman] examines over a hundred traditional gardening products and protocols, both organic and synthetic, to determine whether they are safe and effective."
