Nature's way
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I like this book, I have also read his book :Texas Organic Vegetable Gardening (which is another really good one that is more specific to produce). It has good information on issues specific to the Texas climate. Mr. Garrett gives a list of varieties of specific vegetables and fruits that produce best in TX. He also gives a brief breakdown of some soil science properties that are useful without being overwhelming. This book is really focused more on organic gardening for lawns and landscape, rather than produce, but it has some of both.

Doing it the natural way . . .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I've checked this book out from the library twice. Both times I returned it late because I didn't want to give it up. I finally realized that I needed to buy one for myself. It is an excellent resource for beginners and experts. Howard Garrett teaches us that working with nature is easier, more effective, and safer for our planet than trying to master it. Nature cannot be controlled. This book helps you learn how to work in harmony with your natural surroundings. Also included is a handy month-by-month guide to organic gardening.
A MUST-HAVE read for organic gardners in Texas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Howard Garret has provided an easy reading, informative view aimed toward those of us in Texas that prefer the natural, organic methods of gardening. The subjects flow smoothly from basics of soil preparation and maintenance, through dealing with pests in environmentally freindly ways.Much of the information strikes familiar chords for Texas gardeners, like dealing with our perverse soils, doing battle with our average (?) weather conditions, and deciphering seed catalogs mostly from nothern climates that don't provide satisfactory choices for out USDA zones.I enjoyed this book so much that I ordered his Texas Organic Vegetable Gardening : The Total Guide to Growing Vegetables, Fruits,Herbs, and Other Edible Plants the Natural Way - I,m sure it will be just as good.
