The subtitle of this book is “Everything You Need to Know” and it definitely is that. It is the best book I’ve read, for both beginners and experienced gardeners alike. Daryl Beyers has lots of useful information, very clearly stated with photos and drawings to illustrate. For the ecology-minded, he tends toward natural and organic methods, with sensitivity to those of us with limited physical strength or time constraints. It’s very readable and engaging. One gardener I know, who has always been intimidated by gardening, loves this book.
