5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally well written and superbly presented compendium, February 21, 2001
This review is from: Wisconsin Garden Guide (Paperback)
When the Wisconsin Garden Guide first debuted in 1975 it achieved an impressive status with home gardeners, professional landscapers and horticulturalists throughout the state. Now in an updated third edition and again available to Wisconsin's gardening enthusiasts, Jerry Minnich's exceptionally well written and superbly presented compendium is a complete and total guide to growing flowers, lawns, herbs, vegetables, fruits and nuts. Jerry covers every aspect of the gardening experience from soil evaluation, composting and mulching, to weather, insects, pets, and disease control (without having to resort to herbicides). Of special note is the informative chapter dedicated to indoor gardening. The Wisconsin Garden Guide is further enhanced with a segment on tools and sources, as well as a "gardener friendly" index. The Wisconsin Garden Guide is a core, essential, invaluable, comprehensive reference for every personal or professional Wisconsin gardening collection.
