This book provides invaluable information about growing berries and other small fruits. The information provided is geared to the family or small-scale market gardener. The main fruits covered in this book are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, currants and gooseberries, cranberries, elderberries, and mulberries. Lesser known fruits such as huckleberries, choke cherries, and wine berries are also mentioned. For each of the main fruits, Logsdon begins by providing information to help the gardener choose between varieties, and he suggests specific varieties suited for growing in the North, South, East and West. He also explains how to prepare for planting, and how to mulch, prune, and maintain the plants. He also discusses common problems gardeners may have with these fruits, such as diseases or insects, and suggests ways to avoid these problems. Although Logsdon does not take a strictly organic approach, he encourages gardeners to avoid the use of poisons whenever possible, and presents numerous alternatives that should make spraying unnecessary for most fruits. The book is amply illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings and there is an index.
