Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In this, their eleventh book, the authors separate fact from fiction in gardening lore. They debunk myths about houseplants, outdoor plants, vegetables, fruits and nuts, trees and shrubs, seeds and bulbs, lawns and ground covers, watering, soil, compost, mulch, fertilizers, insects and pesticides, and birds and bees. Every aspect of gardening is included in this useful paperback filled with line drawings. George Cohen
