Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
For years, one of the most popular features in Horticulture magazine has been the two-page "step-by-step" article that highlights a specific gardening task. Here, the complete collection-from 1987 through 1994-is presented in all its glory, including Sears's handsome, well-targeted b&w line drawings. Constituting an exceptionally useful guide, the collection is organized by season rather than month, and is thus applicable for gardeners in just about any North American hardiness zone. The 86 topics range from planting potatoes and making cut flowers last longer to naturalizing bulbs, brewing manure tea and pruning fruit trees. Seven writers contributed to the series, lending a refreshing variety of voices to the unchanging format. The consistently clear and concise instructions will inspire readers to tackle even the most daunting task, e.g., raising ferns from spores, while the wide range of subject matter addresses the interests of gardeners of all levels of ability.

From Booklist
Woodson gives step-by-step directions on installing irrigation systems for lawns and backyard gardens. Woodson, author of a dozen how-to books, includes chapters on freshwater sources, recycling water for irrigation, selecting and installing pumps, moving water by gravity distribution, and building and installing surface, overhead, and buried irrigation systems as well as connecting the system to your home's water supply. Although the book is written for the layperson, some of the instructions seem too complicated. The paperback contains 50 black-and-white drawings. George Cohen

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title, January 25, 2000
By A Customer
This book is titled for DIY but nearly every chapter seems to start with advising us to consult with and/or hire a professional. I got more information on planning and layout from websites of system manufacturers than from this book. There is a reasonably good summary of different types and it might be OK as a guide if you're planning on hiring a professional anyway but this is not a DIY nuts and bolts kind of guide.
