Pest Pest go away, but do it the Natural way! by John G. Rodriguez (Bronx, NY) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
I really despise the fact that people use harsh chemicals to eradicate pesky insects and other "living" garden problems. I have used many of the solutions to these problems, and I have to say, I don't have aphids anymore, nor do the white flies live in my garden anymore; and all done organically. Get this book if you care about the damage that chemically enhanced gardening can cause. Really easy reading and the solutions have worked for me.

I bought this book for my husband, mainly because we tend to have problems with ants where we are living. He was so pleased with it, and says it has so many great ideas for controlling bugs naturally.

A "MUST" for any gardener's library! by passiflora (Santa Rita, Guam USA) 5 Stars
August 29, 2009
I usually don't write reviews unless a book is extraordinarally good or bad. This book is an excellent and indispensable source to any and all gardeners, landscaper's, growers, etc., professional and laymen alike. I have a degree in horticulture and go to this book more than any other. When friends ask for help on insect and disease control, I usually find it in this book and recommend it to everyone.
