4.0 out of 5 stars Easy, common sense tips, March 23, 2006

By	Lisa L. Linderman (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a Master Gardener, and I found this book in our "Previously Read Books" sale pile. I kept picking it up to read while sitting in the office, and finally had to buy it and take it home with me.

It's a collection of practical little tips about everything from germinating seeds to keeping deer out of your yard. The tips are written by gardeners for gardeners, and are easy to read, simple, short, and to the point. While they're not necessarily the "thoroughly tested and scientifically approved" methods, they're the kind of wisdom you might receive from a neighbor or from a parent about things to try in your own yard. The focus is on non-chemical solutions, so it's great for people with kids or pets.
