This review is from: Gardening in Sandy Soil: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-169 (Storey Publishing Bulletin, a-169) (Paperback)

Helpful booklet for those who garden in Wisconsin (sandy soils) and other northern climates (i.e. coast of Maine). The plant lists do not apply to Florida, Texas or the southwest.

These little booklets are a great resource for me as a landscape designer to learn about different kinds of soil conditions and plant selections. I also give them to clients as a resource to help them maintain their landscape.

This review is from: Gardening in Sandy Soil: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-169 (Storey Publishing Bulletin, a-169) (Paperback)

A small, brief pamphlet that outlines a bit of information, but sorely lacking in specific detail or suggestions, like a list of plants that would do well in a sandy garden. Even at it's low cost, it wasn't worth the price.
