4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, June 7, 2007

LLM "Damn Yankee" (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alabama Gardener's Guide The What, Where, When, How & Why Of Gardening In Alabama (Paperback)

I really like this book, though I was a little disappointed there weren't more native plants. She does specifically call out the natives, though. She gives clear, concise advice on when and where to plant, plus care and maintanance. My only other disappointment was the two to three times yearly mulching, fertilizing, and composting she recommends - I know some plants need it, but going native is supposed to make things easy!

Overall, a great book, and a definite plus to anyone with a garden in Alabama.

By A Customer

This review is from: Alabama Gardener's Guide The What, Where, When, How & Why Of Gardening In Alabama (Paperback)

I was so happy that several friends recommended this book! It was so nice to have someone knowledgeable about the peculiarities of gardening in Alabama tell her secrets. There is lots of valuable information in here. I use it constantly in tandem with my Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening book.
