Fun gardening book

An often funny, very informative guide to using common household items in gardening! Enjoyed by myself and shared with "new" gardeners--my grandchildren.

Very Useful

This is a very useful resource. My husband is in it more than I am.

Interesting GardeningBook

Very interesting book. It is a bit repetitive, but all in all, very good.

Awesome! The Cure for a Green Thumb!

I got this book as a Christmas present, and wow, it's a gardener's dream. Instead of running out to the gardening shop to get expensive pesticides or plant foods and what have you, this book tells you what common household products you've already got around the house can be used to solve your gardening problems...saving time, money, and definitely saving you lots of aggravation. Plus, the tips are all environmental so you're not using hazardous pesticides, just friendly products like Maxwell House coffee and Pam cooking spray and Coca-Cola and whatever else you have around the house. This book is truly a must for any home gardener. I don't know how I ever got along without it.
