Book Reviews of Fruits and Berries for the Home Garden
Book Review: Excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this book a very good read, but the information is set up in a way that is easy to find and easy to understand. I am in the beginning stages of my orchard (just planted my trees last spring) and this book is by far my favorite. This book is very user friendly, and covers everything that you will need to know. The author takes the "middle of the road" approach to his orchard, so organic orchardis beware, he does recommend useing some sprays. If you only buy one book on orcharding or growing berries, this one to buy. Plus the recipies on the back of the book are excelent! my favorite is apple macaroon recipie my husband can't get enough of it.
