5.0 out of 5 stars Long Time Gardener, October 5, 2008

This review is from: The Ortho Problem Solver (Hardcover)

This is one of the most comprehensive books out there for problems. We purchased our first book twenty years ago (without Amazon's discount). Our neighbors come to us to find solutions to their problems and have added the book to their Christmas list. As for the person that gave it three stars, it's the Ortho book, you think they should recommend someone else's product?

This review is from: The Ortho Problem Solver (Hardcover)

This is the same book, (The Ortho Problem Solver),
that my local nursery used when I went in with my questions and problems. I am now able to see the problems with my plants, take digital pictures, and then compare with the pictures in the book. This allows me to not only learn to spot the problems including insects,but allows me to develop a plan to correct what I have found. The book also gives the name of the chemicals that should be used to rid the garden of pests and diseases. This book is the latest version and should last many many years. It also includes trees, shrubs, and flowers. Its a wonderful resource for anyone who loves gardening of all types, and for someone who just loves the feel of fresh tilled dirt between their toes, and the satisfaction of watching things grow.

This review is from: The Ortho Problem Solver (Hardcover)

This is the definitive resource book for gardeners and those dealing with plant problems. Excellent pictorial treatment avoids mistakes in diagnosis. Nothing else on the market is comparable. Get the latest version when you buy because chemicals are being updated continually and you will want to keep it all your life.
