From Amazon.com: This is a hands-on manual for the gardener who imagines he has a brown thumb, will murder a houseplant by looking at it the wrong way, and couldn't grow mold on bread. Jerry Baker, one of America's best-known garden experts, has written a book with a sense of humor that covers all your current or potential gardening issues: a green lawn, productive fruit tress, healthy shrubs and trees, and when and where to plant what. He offers shortcuts that can save you time, work, and money; home remedies for healthy plants; and many tips on growing lavish flowers and healthy vegetables and fruit. Thoroughly indexed for ease of reference, this has to be one of the most comprehensive gardening books ever written for the beginner, and Baker's wisdom and humor make it an entertaining read, as well. When friends compliment you on your lush lawn, your spectacular flowers, or your yummy vegetables, you don't have to tell them after the fact that Jerry Baker is responsible, and you'll be glad you found this great guide and problem solver. But if you share the secret, you'll want your friends to get their own copies, as you will not want to let this book slip out of your easy reach for long. --Mark A. Hetts
Unconventional Ideas that work!: This book is filled with common sense ideas that guess what, they work. I love his approach of using simple, and logical ideas that will make you have a better lawn. From easy to mix fertilizer treatments to different ways to aerate your lawn. If you are looking for inexpensive ways to perk up your lawn, this is the book for you.
Thanks from a Granny Gardener: nice to receive something advertized 'like new' that is like new. It is so much better than the tired, dirty, copy that was lost in our last move. I had to order Happy Houseplants just to see if it would happen again and it did. Thanks for the great books and the really great prices. EPH

A Great Practical Guide to Gardens and Lawns: I've been watching Jerry Baker on PBS for a long time. This is a great general book on gardening, lawn, tree and shrub maintenance in general. If I have any complaints, it is that too much information is covered in too little space (one chapter on Vegetable Gardening). I think Jerry is the best. He has a couple of books that specialize in lawn care and other topics. I am going buy these for more detailed information.
