 Great Brddn Book of Garden Secrets by Jerry Baker April 14, 2010
Norine E. Hewett (Naches WA)
If you want the extra edge to make your yard the envy of the neighborhood, or you are looking for a home remedy for a pesky problem or to give your plants a big boost from ordinary to extraordinary, then I recommend you add this book to your library.

I've watched Jerry Baker during public television pledge drives and now came across this book. I've always been intrigued on how he can use simple ingredients like beer, laundry or dish soap, and other common household items into a plant food that seemingly will rival anything the commercial makers like Scotts may have on the market. The problem for amateurs is how th make the measurements work in a hosed-based plant feeder. But here is where Jerry shines. He gives the recipes and the directions on what exactly to do.
He also covers various types of plants in various settings. Any gardener should be willing to give Jerry's advice a try before they commit to other types of expensive fertilizers.

In this book, Jerry gives tips on planning the layout of your garden, composting, soil improvement, watering, and even what to do in the fall after your harvest is done. In the back of the book, he also gives several "tonics" that you can mix up for everything from pests to feeding your garden or lawn.

I was more than fulfilled in reading this fine book. Answers I have needed are all supplied with great common sense. I was so thrilled to have it in my library of books.I bought more for gardening friends. Brides need a copy and people who wish to grow things without problems they cannot solve. If there were a 10 Star rating I would do ten.

If you are familiar with any of Jerry Baker's books, videos, or public tv shows, you know the man is a gardening enthusiast (it's infectious!), a font of helpful information, and somewhat of a fussy perfectionist. The last thing he would do is suggest something that is going to hurt your plants.
Many of Jerry Baker's homemade formulas are in concentrated form, intended to be used in a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer, which greatly dilutes the spray. Virtually all hardware and garden stores carry these hose attachments.
(In regard to a previous negative reviewer:-) First, if you spray any concentrated solution you purchase at a garden store directly onto your plants, I guarantee you will burn them to the ground. Second, if you don't know that a hose-end sprayer is a quart jar you attach to the end of your hose, and you can't manage to describe that to store employees to the extent they realize what you are looking for, then maybe you should have someone drive you to the grocery store and just get your vegetables there.
