This new edition answers the letters and complaints of gardeners who have been concerned about pesticides recommended in former editions, and, as far as possible, those who wrote to say, "I can't find my bug in your book." By eliminating garden pests such as mice, moles, rabbits, and dogs, and the section on Nematodes, which were part of previous editions, more space has been gained for what this book is really all about—descriptions of the insects that attack the plants in your garden and how their depredations can be overcome.
Lavishly illustrated with many black-and-white drawings and full-color life-cycle illustrations of the most important insects, this is an encyclopedic book of garden pests. Thoroughly cross-referenced, it offers a comprehensive listing of the bugs that bug your garden, the plants they affect, the symptoms to look for, and the treatment necessary to make the plant healthy again.
This new fourth edition of The Gardener's Bug Book is the most helpful book on pest control ever published, packed from cover to cover with usable information that will help you to have a more successful, more beautiful garden. Vissza
