This is great if you're already into gardening and know the terminology. I'm more of a beginner and found it hard to make much practical use of the advice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad advice, July 5, 2008

Not as cool as it could have been, full of bad advice and wasn't very creative or in depth. Perhaps ok for the most dim beginner.

1.0 out of 5 stars OK idea, very poorly done, May 7, 2008

A small book with little space for notes yet she says "plenty of space is also included for you to write in your own thoughts and ideas. Keep the book handy, and jot information down year in and year out, all year long." I thought...well, maybe this was originally out in a much larger and longer edition. That would also explain having 2-6 pictures on one 51/2 by 81/2 page. But there is really very little info here, and some of it, such as this tip "Remove containers before planting. Plastic and fibre pots restrict root growth and prevent plants from becoming established." kind of boggles the mind. I guess there are instances when you would plant with some, or all, of the plastic pot, but I've never heard of it being a common problem, even with beginning gardeners. Maybe it will help in ways I can't yet see, but at the moment I feel it was a waste of money.
