This review is from: Gardeners GT Common-Sense Pest (Paperback)

Last summer my garden was invaded by the most foul, cruel and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on. In fact, that rabbit had a vicious streak a mile wide. The way he ate through my cabbage, I'd swear that rabbit's dynamite! I tried taunting and other general methods of dissuasion, but to no avail. In Olkowski's text, chapter five -- no three -- is particularly useful in its detailed and comprehensive, yet brief, synopsis of the ground-breaking methods of garden pest control of both Tim the Enchanter and Martha Stewart. Overall, very effective!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on Integrated Pest Management!, July 24 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Gardeners GT Common-Sense Pest (Paperback)

The best book for the professional as well as the layman on Integrated Pest Management - from weed control to insect pests. Gives excellent advice and council that goes far beyond the usual "If you can't pick them off, spray them with a chemical." There are many, many sound alternatives to pesticides given as well as information and "where to get it" on the new technologies, as well as the tried and true gardening methods.
