Review of Marijuana Garden Saver: Handbook for Healthy Plants (Paperback)

Let me first start off by saying, I have grown for 10 years and have purchased a lot of growing books in the past, but this one by far is my favorite and this book will be sitting by my garden at all times!

After receiving it in the mail and reading it, I was blown away by the information in this handbook. Sleek design that of a handbook,easy to carry and read.

This book is like no other do it yourself, this has detailed information on how to fix any problem you face while growing, whether you are a hydroponic grower,soil grower, outdoors, indoors or any other growing conditions you are growing, this book has it ALL!! One of the best things about this, not only does it have detailed pictures and information about problems that your plants can end up getting through environment and growers error and then some, but it has remedies and items you can use to fix your problem(s) you have and even has products to use to fix it and even has home organic remedies!!! It also tells you how and why your problem occurred, how to avoid it and fix it! You can't go wrong any way you see it when you buy this book, the price alone is a bargain, this book is a gold mine of information that no other book on marijuana has.

User friendly and easy to understand is a huge bonus. First time growers and experienced growers alike would have no problems understanding the information in this book. Solid accurate information!

I will be recommending this one to friends and other medical growers alike.

Thanks for such a great book!

Review of The Well-Tended Perennial Garden: Planting and Pruning Techniques [ILLUSTRATED] (Hardcover)

I am exceptionally pleased that 'The Well-Tended Perennial Garden' has gotten as many favorable reviews as it has, since I suspect it's charms and offerings are just a bit more subtle than your average glossy oversized gardening book. It is essential that you pay attention to the subtitle, as this is a book specializing in teaching us about setting up and planting perennials, and less about choosing or matching or even weeding perennials (the author does not like to weed!). If you flip through the book, you may be put off by the lack of illustrations accompanying the text. While I'm not a big fan of pictures in cookbooks, unless it's discussing a specific technique, I sort of miss them in gardening books. This volume is economically done, with all the glossies in a central rotogravure section. This is ok, because the real meat is in the lessons on planting and pruning. The only place I really miss them is in the encyclopedia of perennials, which is less a true comprehensive encyclopedia than a dictionary of pruning techniques by species. The final two appendices on plant maintanence schedules and lists of plants by care technique may be worth the price of the book for serious gardiners. This is easily the most useful book I've read on perennials.

Product Description
With more than 130,000 copies sold since the original publication, The Well-Tended Perennial Garden has proven itself to be one of the most useful tools a gardener can have. In this expanded edition more than 200 color photographs have been added, showing perennials in various border situations and providing images for each of the entries in the A-Z encyclopedia. In addition, there is a new 32-page journal section with room to enter details, notes, and observations about the requirements and performance of perennials in your own garden. Thousands of readers have commented that The Well-Tended Perennial Garden is one of the most useful and frequently consulted books in their gardening libraries. This new, expanded edition promises to be an even more effective ally in your quest to create a beautiful, healthy, well-maintained perennial garden.
