5.0 out of 5 stars
BEST BOOK AVAILABLE FOR THE GREAT PLAINS/INTERMOUNTAIN WEST,
By WANDA MANLEY (CHEYENNE, WY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing Trees on the Great Plains (Paperback)
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK. I CHECKED THIS BOOK OUT AT THE LIBRARY FIRST AND THEN BOUGHT A COPY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND BOOKS DEALING WITH HORTICULTURE IN THIS AREA OF THE UNITED STATES. THE BOOK IS WRITTEN IN A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD MANNER THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT IT'S NOT "DUMBED" DOWN. SHE TOUCHES UPON THE MAIN PRINCIPLES OF TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO GROW ON THE GREAT PLAINS (WHERE THE WINTERS ARE COLD AND WINDY, AND THE SUMMERS ARE HOT AND DRY): SOILS, WATER, MULCHING, AND CHOOSING THE CORRECT TREES AND SHRUBS. SHE LISTS HER FAVORITES WITH A SHORT JUSTIFICATION FOR EACH SPECIES AND OFFERS TIPS ON KEEPING THE COST DOWN ON DRIPLINE IRRIGATION. YOU CAN'T MISS WITH THIS BOOK!!
