2.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, February 6, 2002

By	Jennifer Boger (Belmont, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At 32 pages you really do get what you pay for. Minimal info on only common herbs, precious little indoor growing information, and certainly nothing that you can't find easily on the web.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average booklet for gardening, March 13, 2006

By	Twins Mom "Twins Mom" (NC) - See all my reviews

This was an inexpensive booklet. It was good for basic information, but the information was basic enough that it could be found in any other type of Herb Gardening book. It's not something I will reference very often.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to herbs in containers, July 3, 2007

By	Toni Rakestraw - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Is a balcony all you have for your garden? Want to grow tasty herbs anyway? This is an inexpensive way to get the basics on starting your herb garden in containers. It is a Storey guide, which are almost always guaranteed to give you good info. Definitely worth the few bucks it costs.
