A thouroughly enjoyable reference book!
For me, doing my homework before starting a project is a natural occurence. I'm so glad I started with this book! As a novice, I wanted a comprehensive guide that wasn't too overwhelming. The KISS Guide to Gardening helped me to envision, understand, and prevent possible gardening problems before one bulb had been planted. The chapters on watering problems and too much/too little sun probably saved several dozen of my flowers. I especially loved the chapter on Garden Pests and how to get rid of them. All suggestions encourage natural, organic problem-solvers before other options. The chapters are laid out beautifully and the ease of reference - from the Contents to the chapter color-coding on the page's edges - make this a reference manual I plan to keep forever. There are also breakdowns of plant types and most popular flowers - giving the best case scenarious for each one's growth. Fun bits of trivia and a sense of humor keep this from being too serious. A great find and a great price here at Amazon! Similar Products
