5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Informative, Oct 3 2005
By M. Treleven - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Organic Gardening For Dummies (Paperback)
Good primer for a beginning organic gardener. You can read it cover to cover or skip around to find information on your specific organic gardening needs. The book takes a pragmatic look at the challenges of organic gardening while keeping the "first, do no harm" philosophy in tact. The technical information and references are comprehensive without being overwhelming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - easy read, July 30 2007
By K. Batts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Organic Gardening For Dummies (Paperback)
This is an easy to read, easy to understand book on organic gardening. It is very straight forward and doesn't assume more than basic gardening knowledge - just as it should.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and easy gardening!, July 28 2008
By Kendra D. Wesner - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Organic Gardening For Dummies (Paperback)
This is a straight forward manual on how to maximize your garden's potential without pesticides or store bought fertilizers. Additionally, there are many factoids on the "old fashioned" methods of gardening that were learned by trial and error over the history of humans.
It's a great source for "use what you have" gardening. For some things, like insect control, there can be more than one or two solutions depending on your area and what you're growing.
A handy guide for the beginner or intermediate gardener.
