Must have

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book helped me identify the issues I have had in my garden this year. It gave me organic options to take care of the problems. The colored photos are very helpful and made it very easy to identify the pest or disease I was looking for. I had a white fly issue and according to the book it recommended ladybugs; which I subsequently purchased online. They did their job well. This book is definitely a must have for any gardener.

IMHO the most important gardening issue is protecting friends such as toads, tree frogs, bats, bees, butterflies, garden spiders, and the amazing beneficial earthworms. This book is fairly easy to follow and enjoyable to read. I am making a new raised organic garden which I will share my bounty with all creatures. I'm enjoying this book and find it a pleasure to read and become better educated so I will hopefully not do any harm to the beneficial insects. and hopefully grow the most healthy fruits and vegetables. I enjoy the photography and the style of the author.

Great organic book.

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015

If you are a organic gardener and are not interested in chemicals, this is the book for you. I have not seen any mention of chemicals so far. This book starts off with information about a healthy soil. It talks about composting and cover crops to get healthy soil. From that point, it starts going into details by vegetable, fruit or nut. Once you get to a specific plant, it talks about the culture, problems for that plant, how to solve the problem organically and to avoid the problem in the future.

This book has quite a lot of pictures of pests and diseases. While some pictures are small, a magnifying glass will help since the pictures have a lot of detail Most should be fine without a magnifying glass.

This book has a lot of information in it for a fairly small book. The font used is good enough that I can read it without resorting to using a magnifying glass. If you have vision problems like I do, this should be readable.

I have the older version of this book and love the drawings of each plant that shows how insects and diseases affect the plant. The Kindle version of this book does not have them. It does seem to have the insect pictures still.

Book is a good read and has good explanations...... but really needs more photos and larger photos to make it easier to understand disease processes and remedies. Covers the basics of pest and disease control with a good sectional format. 4 out of 5 stars.

While I really don't want to look at pictures of bugs, it is extremely useful in identifying and verifying an insect's identity. It has color photos and is well organized. I only wish there were tabs to easily find the section you are looking for.

Amazing book, I puned it "the Bible" has a lot of information on pest, diseases , growing issues, organic sprays. etc ect. But it could always have more information. Most of the common things we like to grow is in the book, but not all. (Only reason why it didn't get a 5)

I use this book nearly every day!

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is incredibly useful! It starts with a section of cultivation information for a wide variety of edibles, which has been so helpful! In addition to how to grow each plant, there are sections on possible issues, including diseases, pests, and poisons. The book then goes on to provide photos and descriptions of a huge variety of pests, and suggestions on how to deal with them. It ends with photos and descriptions of diseases, and an easy-to-use table to help you locate potential causes for the symptoms your garden is exhibiting. Every time I encounter a pest, a disease, or just a weird thing I've never seen before, this is my first, and usually last, stop. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Useful but written for us and Canada

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I got this book recently and I have really enjoyed browsing through it.

I have found the section that has identified the pest and then describes the problems it causes and how best to get rid of it the most useful.

The first half of the book has is ordered by the type of plant that you have and tells and describes potential problems to you so you can identify what has gone wrong.

The only reason I haven't given this book 5 stars is because it is really written for the us and Canada. I don't know how much of this book is therefore irrelevant/useful. So far it's told me how to tackle them pesky slugs but I don't know whether it contains information about all of the pests in my garden. I wish I had known before ordering it (although I probably would have ordered it still).

Great Resource

Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2018

This book has helped me figure out problems in my yard and garden several times as well as kept me from squashing helpful insects. The book has lots of images and descriptions of insects and plant problems. Sometimes I just flip through looking at the images until I spot something that looks similar to what I'm seeing on one of my plants. Then I can read to see if the image is even more likely what I'm dealing with. If it is, the book provides suggestions for fixing and preventing future problems. Or if it's something that's not a problem, then I know I don't need to do anything about it. Other times, I look up the type of plant I'm seeing the problem on. There aren't photos in the section, but since many pests and diseases affect multiple plants, it doesn't exactly make sense to include images of the same disease or pest over and over again. Besides, if the description under a specific plant sounds like what I'm seeing, I can use the index to look it up and the book usually has a photo of it in either the pests or diseases sections. I am forever grateful to the person who suggested this book.

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2013

It's important to have pest control without chemical pesticides that harm beneficial bugs, bees, birds & the environment.
We have to regain the knowledge that people have used for thousands of years using natural practices.
This book brings us closer to natural, organic, sustainable farming, for market or backyard.
