The Bev Man (MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yard & Garden Owners Manual: Your complete guide to the care and upkeep of everything outdoors (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)

This book is excellent. It has everything you need to know about your lawn, from grass, weeds and plants to tools, stonework and sprinklers. I find myself referencing it all of the time. An indispensable book.

This review is from: Yard & Garden Owners Manual : Your Complete Guide to the Care and Upkeep of Everything Outdoors (Better Homes & Gardens (Hardcover)) (Spiral-bound)

I actually ordered this book through a book club when we bought our house. It has been so useful to me that I have been buying it for others as a gift when they buy their first homes.

Great book. Everyone who has a yard should own one. It covers every subject anyone would want in regards to yard and garden care. From lawns and gardens to lighting and care of decks, it covers it all. If you are a novice you will love it and it you are a true gardener, you will love it. You won't need any other gardening book once you own this one.
