I’ve just been going through the top books at Amazon in the sustainable living category, deciding which ones to feature. For some of them, I have to read quite a few of the reviews to get my own sense of them. I used to be a librarian, so evaluating books is something I love to do!
When I got to this one, I didn’t have to ponder it for even a minute. This Rodale reference book is extremely useful. I have relied on this book (and earlier incarnations of it) myself, both in libraries when helping people and in my own gardens. Its subtitle is deserved: A Complete Problem-Solving Guide to Keeping Your Garden and Yard Healthy Without Chemicals. – Zana

A New York Times Best Gardening Book
The health aspects of organic gardnening cannot be overstated. The petroleum-based fertilizers and toxic pesticides, genetic alterations, etc. of current farming techniques are causing many health problems and will increasingly do so. This book, and other books like it, reveal truly healthy and environmentally safe techniques to grow untainted food that is truly nutitious. Your local supermarket does not sell food, it sells commerical products. Food depleted of its nutrients cannot be “enriched”; what was healthy is now “dead” food. Much in the same way most of us have been duped into buying “health plans”. Such should be more appropriately called “sickness plans”. Health plans do nothing to keep you healthy. Not one penny of your payment goes to increasing your health and boosting your immune system. But rather you pay them to expose you to what can be deadly immunizations and in fact they are much more harmful than beneficial. Germs are not your enemy. The suppression of your immune system is. It is what you do to your own body and immune system. What you willing (and sometimes unwillingly) expose yourself to is what makes a person sick. Your body is completely capable of healing itself when you provide it with the proper nutients found in natural herbs, fruits, and vegetables grown free of man-made chemicals and toxins. The answers are out there but the medical establishment wants to keep them from you. It makes big pharma billions every year. For example if most of you knew that there are at least 10 (ten) cures for cancer what would we do with all those who overnight would become unemployed? Yes, there are commercial entities that want control over your life in every way, whether you realize it or not. Take control of your life or let the government be your guardian. Which one of these options is best for you?

This book is a valuable resource for our organic gardens. We live in subtropical Florida and tropical Costa Rica and we wouldn’t be without this book at either home.
