This book was a wonderful gift for my birthday from a dear friend. I absolutely love this book. As the cover of the book says, it is full of tips, remedies and shortcuts you would never think of. I refer to this book a lot for ideas. Most if not all of the remedies are natural which I love. Example - Basil Sun Tea for aphids, cabbage loopers, mites and cucumber beetles. Just gather a handful of fresh basil leaves and stems, crush them slightly, and stuff them into a large glass jar (at least 1/2 gallon) filled with water. Cap the jar and set in the sun to brew for a few days. Strain out the solids and store in a covered jar until needed as an insecticide. When you are ready to do battle, add to 1/8 teaspoon liquid soap in a spray bottle and shake well before using.
If you are serious about gardening and want to do things as natural as possible ....you will love this book. :)
