Although the front book cover has 100% Organic circled on it, she mentions several times to use treated wood in the garden. This of course would no longer make your garden organic as the chemicals to treat the wood would leach into the ground and feed your vegetables. The book doesn’t offer much information and is mostly regurgitated stuff from other books. The information offered is obvious and nothing new! I would not personally recommend this book. There are a lot more out there with better information.

This is a very informative resource. It will help the new and the seasoned gardener. It is well worth the money.

This is the best gardening book I’ve come across so far. It covers so much, from houseplants to composting, and has a section on just about any vegetable you can think about growing. And it’s in depth! I will keep this book around for years!
