Flower Power

This is yet another book by Jerry Baker, the innovative gardener who uses everything from soap to beer to get his flowers growiong strong. The book is organized into sections that enable the reader to have a successful garden if they only take the time to read the book all the way through. But one can also jump around and find solutions to specific problems facing them in their own gardens. Baker's writing style is down home common sense. He advocates using basic materials instread of mass produced herbicides or fertilizers to get gardens growing lushly. He doesn't say if his ways are more economical than using store bought materials (it's hard to justify the price of a 24 pack of beer only to put it all on your flowers), but he does offer up alternative to those who may not want to buy the potentially dangerous fertilizers and weed control chemicals.
