Recommends it for: Any gardener; especially master gardeners
Jerry Baker is well known for this garden advice and "Grandma Putt's Tonics." He is referred to as American's Master Gardener... a title well deserved. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys gardening.

I can't think of this book without remembering the description of Jerry Baker abusing his trees by moonlight---apparently if you beat trees with a stick they grow better. The moonlight is just so hopefully the neighbors won't notice. This is a practical, approachable book that gives lots of good advice, and his light touch of humor weaves through and makes it all readable.
