It is only natural This complete gardening guide by leading expert, Howard Garrett, tells you everything you need to know to make your garden healthy... the natural way. No more toxins. No more... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is a wonderful 'bible' for both the beginner, as well as the experienced gardener. Recipies, planting instructions, plant selection, healthy soil-building, chemicals-vs.-organics points, lawn and landscape care/maintenance, pest control, diseases, composting, and product suggestions. A complete introduction and guide, detailing just about anything you might wish to know, well written and sensibly organized. And the photo on the front of this tome (of his daughter as a toddler,) sends the point straight home... why would anyone choose to use toxic chemicals when Mother Nature is so helpful? You won't be sorry for buying this educational, enlightening handbook!

This book is a wonderful manual for a person who wants to start gardening the Natural Way. I have read the book cover to cover and continue to refer to it each time I encounter something new in my yard. There is a great calendar which gives you items which you should do each month of the year. I listen the his radio talk show every Sunday.
