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

I have a chemical lawn/tree & shrub business, and I use it. The only negative I can see is that the Home Gardener's Problem Solver covers most of this book for $30. That said, I gave my techs the home gardener's version and kept this one for myself.

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

From amateur to pro, this text of gardening problems, from the most delicate plant and flowers to the most complicated forms of trees and shrubs, this book covers all. Also as a hardbound, it is an excellent additon to any library.
I have yet to find a better book for all around use for pros and amateurs.

The most-used gardening manual I own. Sure, they are going to promote their products, but the general information and the pictures are first rate.
