CARROTS LOVE TOMATOES & ROSES LOVE GARLIC : Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening by Louise Riotte (Author).Combination of two books which were reflowed and redesigned. Includes bibliographical references an index.
This book is awesome!! It has each Carrots love tomatoes and roses love garlic in one e book quite than having to buy them seperate. It offers great information about what crops like or dislike different and what herbs protect from different pests. It talks about what weeds are helpful (suprise dandelions aren't as dangerous as you thought) and methods to preserve different critters out of your garden.
I have learn these books not less than thrice and ceaselessly seek advice from it for reference. I lastly determined to let the library preserve their copies when I discovered this "two for one" at a worth higher than one by itself. I am thrilled to have them both tremendous handy. Very practical gardening data; a must have for anyone who grows their own food.
I constructed new raised vegetable beds this yr, mostly for asparagus, and find this ebook extraordinarily
helpful in deciding the plantings. I especially like the information about how certain crops might help control predators of different plants, for instance, tomatoes planted close to asparagus can discourage
the dreaded asparagus beetle. I am additionally "remodeling" my flower beds and this guide will be one
of the assets I use.
I acquired a really old version from my local library, which was simply the "Carrots Love Tomatoes" book.
This e book is FANTASTIC and I'm very glad there are newer publications, which I most actually shall be buying.
Companion planting is something EVERYONE who wants to develop meals or flowers ought to know about.
Personally I'm utilizing the information from this e book to assist after I make my own container garden (I live in an residence with no yard). While you're working with little area, you wish to put the friendliest vegetation collectively for optimum development and flavor. This e-book tells you ways, in addition to helping you see how completely different crops shield each other from insects and critters (organic pest control with out all of the "greenwash"). The book also provides storing techniques (do not put your apples close to your potatoes!). It isn't very in depth, but it's a nice overview and offers you some good recipes for plant sprays and bug/critter repellent created from natural sources (and this e book was revealed long before the business green movement!).
