An Enchanting Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I gave away my first copy of this book and have started buying more copies to give away as gifts. It is an intriguing introduction to organic gardening and housekeeping. The author's creativity and sense of humor make it a fun book to refer to over and over again. Loved it!
Both Fun and Useful Information

This book is a revised, upgrade of Ellen's original self-published volume by the same name. A lifetime artist and "original person" who has invested herself in this really unique, one of a kind book.... The book is worth price of admission for the graphics alone. Well researched, entertaining, informative.... a lot of superlatives could be used here. The newly released edition is nearly twice as long as the original, without dilluting any of the flavor. I don't think you could go wrong buying this book since if you did not care for it yourself it is guaranteed to be a good gift for someone you know. Lots of interesting trivia, only more useful than those trivia kinds of books.

What a great book! Natural deterrants for everything from mosquitos to weed grass and if that's not enough the quotes are enough to keep you amply amused. This book has more tips in it's few pages than I have seen in much larger publications.
