By Heini Villela (Guatemala, GUA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tomato Plant Culture In the Field, Greenhouse, and Home Garden (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent source of information to TECHNICALLY handle the crop, specially in the nutrition matters, because it gives you all the parameters you have to reach in the different stages in order to reach an optimal harvest. Also, it has specific detail information that you can not find easily elsewhere. Congratulations Benton!!

Tomato Plant Culture,

This review is from: Tomato Plant Culture In the Field, Greenhouse, and Home Garden (Hardcover)
Definitely not worth the 60 dollars that I paid for this book. Some good information on tomato culture but also has a lot of info that you could get from general horticulture books at a much cheaper price.
