This review is from: The Garden Expert (Paperback)

This book is loaded with information and is well-illustrated and easy to understand. It begins with how to assess your space and plan your garden, then moves on to soil, climate and tools. The techniques section is great -- teaching you how to propagate, hoe, mulch, prune, etc. There is also an excellent chapter on troubles, including but not limited to, pests and weed control, and special chapters on greenhouse ad water gardening. This is a fantastic book. The flaw? NO INDEX. It is a pain to find information about specific plants because it is difficult to find. Plants are divided into climbers, shrubs, conifers, trees, roses, fruits, annuals, bulbs, perennials and vegetables, but often you have to look through several sections to find the plant you're interested in, and if it's not in the book, it takes you a long time to find that out. I love this book but hope subsequent editions will include an index.
