Title: Better than I expected.
Review: I wasnât sure exactly what to expect with this book, but it had good reviews, and I see why. It covers your basic companion plants, but beyond that it covers what many consider weeds, such as spurge and its ability to repel mice and rats. It mentions sow thistle and its benefits to melons, cucumbers and other plants. It covers pest control, nitrogen fixing plants, poisonous plants and more. I will be using this book until it falls apart and I need to replace it. No matter what your gardening skill level is, I believe this book is worth having in your library.

Title: Understanding Companion Planting - Some Good Ideas To Avoid Predators Getting To Your Plants!
Review: This book is a good primer for understanding companion planting.After reading this book I suspect that vegetables do grow better when planted with or near certain other plants. It's worth trying, so I have tried it and plan to do it even better on my next "crop" of vegetables. Do they care if garlic is planted near them? Maybe, if it scares away bugs that would otherwise play havoc with them.I planted my first crop in my new greenhouse and now I have all sorts of vegetables growing. It found it comforting to have a guide about what vegetables should or should NOT be planted close to each other. As usual, I was doing too much, and my brain is overwhelmed with all there is to learn, but it doesn't matter. The vegetables are growing and they are doing really well. Even if I don't understand the why's and why not of all of it, I learned enough to do it.I hope to be able to understand even more of this book now that I have a little experience. Last year I didn't know how to sow a seed! Now I have a garden, in Winter. It's amazing to harvest something you've grown from seed. I feel that I've avoided some mistakes by following the guidelines in this book. I also found out about some poisonous plants that I have now decided I don't want in my garden. That's helpful too.

Review: This book is just what I wanted. It won't have any and all plants you may want to plant, obviously, since it was published quite a few years ago, and I don't reckon they had the wide selection of plants that we can now get worldwide. I feel like we experiment more nowadays with more tropical species and less known plants.But, even then, and especially for your typical more everyday veggies, fruits and herbs, it's amazing! It has a bit of everything, even some advice for fruit trees which I really appreciate, and some on nuts too.I know you can find this stuff on the internet, and I often do resort to that, but having this on hand while around the garden is very nice.
