Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: good nic Comment: this book arrived in perfect condition and very quickly - more quickly than it was advised when I ordered it! Customer Rating: Summary: Invaluable resource! Comment: I bought this book about a year ago. I'm new to gardening and organic methods really appeal to me. This book has been referenced countless times this year for diagnosing problems and what actions are necessary, if any. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It makes organic pest/disease control seem tangible! Customer Rating: Summary: Perhaps the Best Comment: As a farm advisor with an extensive agricultural library, I find this book tops most of the text books I have. I recommend this well-illustrated and educational book to organic crop farmers, and to organic farm inspectors and certifiers. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Reference for Bugs Comment: As a Master Gardener, I get a lot of questions about insects and plant diseases in the home/backyard setting. Unfortunately, bugs have always been my weakest knowledge area, so it used to take me forever to figure out just who the culprit was and the damage it could inflict. This book has been invaluable in providing excellent pictures so that I can quickly identify the critter in question, and understandable text to know what, if anything, to do next. I highly recommend this book for novices as well as accomplished bug people. Customer Rating: Summary: Complex Comment: The book was very good from a technical standpoint but more than I wanted or needed. I was looking more for the home remedies to my garden problems. Things that I would normally have in the kitchen, such as soap, garlic, pepper, etc. It did have some of those remedies but there were many more technically more complex and commercially available fixes to my garden problems. I could have gotten this information from reading the backs of compound containers at the the garden supply store. A good and well researched book but not what I was looking because the title led me to believe it was solutions without chemicals and most of the solutions are what I consider to be chemical.
