“I am so happy I purchased this book. I am a kids’ gardening teacher and a busy mother of 2. I got the kindle version and now I quickly search through it every time I get stuck with a problem in my garden or at a school’s. It always comes up with very good easy to implement suggestions and saves the day! Recommend it BIG TIME!”
“I throw so much stuff away everyday, now I can use a lot of it to make my soil better & fertilize my veggies! I like how the book is organized with lots of great information up front & then for each recipe it explains why it works, which plants will benefit from it, what to combine with it& how to make it several ways. It’s go a lot to work with. Any ideas for houseplants? Please write a book on homemade fertilizers for houseplants!”
“I was thinking of starting a garden this year and have never had very good luck before. I got some great ideas that I can’t wait to try.”
“These are some really “down to earth” ways to fertilize! I got some great ideas and since I don’t consider myself having a green thumb, this gave me a little boost in confidence that I can do this too! I would recommend this to any beginner or advanced gardener!”
“My garden has done a 180 since using these techniques – I got over 100 cucumbers this past summer on beds made from kitchen scraps. I learned also how to grow more tomato plants from cuttings! Buy one plant and get 10 MORE!!!”
