Holy Moses, what a barn burningly good read!!!
Just kidding. It's a book about gardening. By law I don't think it's allowed to be interesting.
It is however fairly informative, though on a very basic level as the title suggests. I constantly found myself finishing the ultra concise passages thinking, "okay, thank you for that...but why?"
Basic Gardening gives the novice gardener the barest of essentials to get your plants planted, your lawn laid, and your fruit trees funky...sorry, I was trying to maintain the alliteration, an abhorrent practice in the best of times. Anywhoodle, Basic Gardening is a quick read, perfect for that first step towards a greener backyard.
Rating: Perhaps it deserves a higher rating considering it does what it sets out to do. Meh, it's an informative-yet-boring textbook...3.5 stars!
PS: I said "get your lawn laid" Heh-heh...dirty.
PIX APPENDIX!!!
Here's my front yard before I landscaped it...

And here it is after, sans the shrubs I've put in around the border since the pic was taken. I think it's an improvement...
AFTER
Perhaps I did learn something from this book.

Great book for people who want to learn a little bit about gardening.
It's not overwhelming with just enough information to wet your appetite so if you want more you have a starting point.
