Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

With the exception of roses, this book is limited to diseases that infect 54 commonly grown vegetables and fruits. Pleasant, author of The Gardener's Bug Book, discusses more than 50 plant diseases and recommends organic methods for controlling them. The author insists that environmental concerns compelled her to look at disease control strategies that do not pollute the air, water, or soil. Emphasis is placed on maximizing plants' ability to fight disease and on gardening methods that keep diseases in check, methods that include hot composting, crop rotation, soil solarization, and selecting the best varieties for your garden. Say good-bye to corn smut, southern bacterial wilt, apple scab, halo blight, bean mosaic virus, and all the other tiny terrors that plague your plants! George Cohen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

More than 50 common plant diseases are revealed in a guide which tells what to do about them. Symptoms and a cross-referenced list of common problems provide instant and important access to diseases and natural remedies; from immediate action to long-term treatment. -- Midwest Book Review

More About the Author

I have the greatest job in the world, which is helping gardeners find neat ways to make the world a more beautiful and productive place. Writing feature article for Mother Earth News and other magazines helps to break up long stretches spent on books, and it's also great fun to talk with fellow gardeners, who are a constant source of new and better ideas.
