Gardening Book

I bought this book as a present. They loved it. It was in perfect condiotion. This is one terrific backpack. Trust worthy seller. Will buy from again.

The greenest grass imaginable

I bought this book for my husband. He follows it faithfully, and you can see the results in our yard. We have the most beautiful, lush grass in the neighborhood - which seems to be a miracle, since our yard was an overgrown field just two years ago. Jerry Baker provides simple ways to establish and maintain your lawn. I also appreciate the fact that we do not have to go to a gardening store to find the items recommended in his book.

Best lawn on the block!!!

I have never enjoyed caring for my lawn before. This book makes it fun, the results are gratifying. If you love being outdoors and tinkering in the yard and garden--this is the formula.

Right to the point - no fluff - right on!

I've read so many lawn books that beat around the bush (no pun intended!) This book has the simple, and effective techniques clearly spelled-out. And it's entertaining, too. Highly recommended for anyone who has a problem lawn (like mine USED to be).

Excellent results from an Excellent book

Jerry shows you very simple and inexpensive ways to improve your lawn and garden. Though some of the items he uses, mostly household products, seem starange at first; the results are OUTSTANDING.... We no have the best looking lawn in the entire neighborhood.I am not letting my neighbors know about this one :)
