Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening: A Beginner's Guide to Starting a Healthy Garden

Very informative. Covers the good and the bad. How to care for flowers and vegetables; how to address impact if unwanted plants.

I am enjoying reading Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening. It clearly describes how to set up organic gardening beds, gives lots of interesting information, and has a large section giving specific directions for success with each plant. There are sections on upkeep, pest control, weed management, and attracting beneficial organisms. There is a calendar describing what to do each month. It is clearly written, easy to read, and comprehensive. This is a great reference book for beginners as well as more experienced gardeners.

Have never been disappointed with any information from Rodale and this is no exception. Stuffed with information in a clear concise manner. This is like all their reference books - full of info that I'm looking for and written so there is no ambiguity about what they are telling me. They've long ago established their mastery of their subject matter - so I always know I'll get great info I can rely on.

Just got to reading this book past my return window only to find two misprinted pages. Would like an exchange for a correctly printed book, or even just a picture of these pages so we can have the information that is supposed to be printed on them. Thanks!

This gave me the basics in an interesting way. Easy to read, excellent diagrams, and valuable tips for the garden. The real test will come in the Spring when I plant my first organic garden.

Fantastic, informative text that has anecdotal information along with all you need to know about beginning a small organic garden. Mind you, this isn’t a comprehensive text about every problem, but it’s a great stepping stone for those needing some orientation into an unfamiliar, daunting world.

We are in our second year of a rather large garden. The book had some great little golden nuggets to help with bug issues. Something easy to grab if you have a question on a specific plant.

Amazing book. Worth every penny. Rodale is "the" name in gardening.
