Re: Organic Gardening Book Recommendations?

The books that I recomend the most are Geoff Hamilton's book " The 
organic garden" by crown publishers 1987 and " Rodale's Chemical-free 
yard and garden". I like the first book particularly because of the good 
pictures and step by step process. The second book has tones of good 
information about a lot of stuff, particularly the science of this aspect 
of organic gardening. If you are interested in pest control in organic 
gardens, I picked up a really good book by Sunset on organic pest 
control. It's got excilent pictures and ideas + one that I would recomend 
for people who are just starting out in organic gardening and need a 
quick trouble shooting book ( I lots my copy so I don't know the specific 
title ).
