Good primer for a beginning organic gardener. You can read it cover to cover or skip around to find information on your specific organic gardening needs. The book takes a pragmatic look at the challenges of organic gardening while keeping the "first, do no harm" philosophy in tact. The technical information and references are comprehensive without being overwhelming.

This is an easy to read, easy to understand book on organic gardening. It is very straight forward and doesn't assume more than basic gardening knowledge - just as it should.

This is a straight forward manual on how to maximize your garden's potential without pesticides or store bought fertilizers. Additionally, there are many factoids on the "old fashioned" methods of gardening that were learned by trial and error over the history of humans.
It's a great source for "use what you have" gardening. For some things, like insect control, there can be more than one or two solutions depending on your area and what you're growing.
A handy guide for the beginner or intermediate gardener.

This book is great for the organic gardener. We've enjoyed all of the information in this book. We highly recommend it onto others. :)

This book is a great starter book for anyone thinking about having their own little garden. It has great, easy to understand infromation and good charts to guide you.

I was very pleased with this book. Id done some research with other gardening books for a few months. but ultimately i chose this one. It gave step by step directions, covered all aspects of getting your garden started from beginning to end. And even explained the technical dynamics of healthy soil, how to achieve healthy soil, and composting! so, as a hands-on learner myself...i wont be letting this book go for years to come.

Organic Gardening for Dummies is a wonderful book for those new to organic gardening. The section on common pests and non-toxic means of eradication saved my kale. Of course the book is easy to read and has many interesting little known facts about all-things-gardening.

I bought this book for my son-in-law. He loves it. Is always quoting some bit of info.

For someone who is just starting out with organic gardening, this is a great book. I've done a little gardening here and there but never to the extent I am now planning. This book has tons of helpful hints and tips. I'm looking forward to getting started this year and finally feel that I have the tools and knowledge to do it.

I'm really enjoying learning about gardening from the organic perspective. This book makes it easy to look for a topic if you have something in mind. Highly recommended.
