Great Gardening Book

May I suggest a really great addition to your gardening books? Great Garden Companions..A Companion-Planting System for a Beautiful, Chemical-Free Vegetable Garden... is written by Sally Jean Cunningham....a master gardener who teaches us about companion planting...intensive planting...organic soil building...and natural pest-control techniques. Here's a sample of how she explains the plants 'Family Unit'...'Friends"...'Growing Basics'...'Spacing'...'Feeding'...'Mulching'...'Problems and Solutions'...'Harvesting'...and her 'Tips and Tricks'......

She explains "good bugs".... what to plant to attract them....and "bad bugs" with what to plant to repel them. There's a section on Seasonal Care and pictures of her own garden showing how this all works.


My copy is already "dog-eared" and smudged with dirty fingerprints....check it out for yourself!
