Negative Positive
Title: Homegrown Book
Review: This little book could have used an editor. There are many errors that would not be caught with a spell checker ("...after further thought it makes since." "By its self..." "...each cinder block unit t the beginning..." "a generous wheel barrel..."). "To" is often used for "too." Sentences are garbled ("I keep my garden as simple as possible by running some of the vegetables up on trellises saves a lot of space." "...what kind if fertilizer to put on the garden."). The book's friendly attitude may overcome its obviously amateurish home production. There are difficulties with its content. It contains undocumented hearsay and very little that has not already been written about in more substantial books. Many ideas are untested guesses. The one tidbit of fresh insight was the author's comments on color clues as a key to watering. For a rank beginner who has not read much about gardening, this book may be helpful--even inspiring. Anyone else is advised to stand clear.
