5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Synopsis of Jerry's Solutions, December 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Plants Are Still Like People (Plume) (Paperback)
A great book that lists all of Jerry's tonics and remedies in on place. The book covers everything from how to keep squirrels from eating bulbs to fertilizing plants. Jerry's alternative solutions have worked great in our yard and allow us to avoid using large amounts of commercial week killers and insecticide.

1.0 out of 5 stars jerry baker, flower power, February 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Plants Are Still Like People (Plume) (Paperback)
Other than the concoction that I already had the recipe for, this book is nothing but babble and non-sence. Not a picture in sight, at best an occational sketch. It was expensive and I wish I had saved the box so I could send it back. Now I just look forward to my garage sale in hopes that I can get a dollar or two for it. I'm almost tempted to send it back at my expence and tell them to just KEEP IT! Thank you for your time.
