3.0 out of 5 stars Quick-Paced Gardening Advice, January 29, 2010

This review is from: Jerry Baker: Gardening Wisdom (DVD)

I gained some good gardening knowledge from "Gardening Wisdom". However, as many reviewers describe, he does go quickly through the material. This DVD does not utilize any kind of a PowerPoint presentation or other form of notes, so viewers are left to scribble down notes or rewind. Having watched many of his specials before, I have learned to record him with a voice recorder; those devices are much more easier to rewind/fast-forward than a DVD, in my opinion.

While "Grandma Putt's'" tonics are made using household items such as beer and dishwashing liquid, their "green-ness" can and shoud be questioned. He does believe in using pesticides and herbicides, but only as a last resort in most cases. While this was released in 2003, the footage appears to be a decade older.

In "Jerry Baker's Gardening Wisdom", Baker gives some good advice, but be prepared to take notes and hit rewind if you want to absorb the information.

The book was helpful. I ordered the book for vegtable gardening and at least half of the book is devoted to flowers. Otherwise, the dealer was escellent.
