not enough on growing herbs
Review by William Swords, 2010-05-11
this was more of a cookbook then a book on growing herbs. it did touch on some goog basics but did not cover a lot of herbs.
Could cover more herbs, but other than that great guide!
Review by Heather, 2010-03-26
The only drawback to this book is that many herbs are not included. If you are really interested in encycolpedia coverage of herbs, you will need to supplement this with another book. But, there are still over 50 herbs covered, and covered well here and all of the most common varieties are here. The book is easy to understand and very helpful when it comes to understanding the herbs and the conditions they need to grow so you can be sucessful. Many herb books spend too much time focusing on remedies and recipies - which will do you no good if you aren't sucessful growing the herb in the first place. The book also covers many general gardening tips, including both ground and container gardening. There are some crafts/recipies/remedies in here, and they are good, but the focus of the book is on growing herbs. Once you grow your herbs this book can be handy in coming up with gifts for people using your herb garden. While I wish more herbs were covered, I admit I have an exhaustive curiousity and most or all of the ones I would actually grow are included here. The book is clear and easy to understand, and I think even a novice gardener could be sucessful with this book. Highly recommended!
wonderful book and a perfect gift
Review by kolibrik, 2010-02-18
This book is very beautifully made, and at the same time very interesting and informative: lots of useful info about planting and growing herbs, using them for various cooking, cosmetic, home styling and other purposes. It's a pleasure to just flick through the pages, the book is very pretty and would make a nice gift to someone who loves herbs and gardening.
Easy to use and very helpful
Review by Romanov, 2009-09-01
For not knowing anything about herbs and growing them, I praise this book. Easy to find information. Covers a vast number of herbs, edible and non edible. Has info about how to use the herbs for cooking. How to grow them and where. My basil is three feet tall and bushy. It has been very helpful and my herb garden thanks you.
