An invaluable compilation of nontoxic strategies to be rid of insects and bgger garden predators, this volume also provides complete instructions for designing, planting, and nurturing your personal plot. From peat moss to pruning, the author explores the seedy world of compost heaps (which can be used to vaccinate your garden against disease), growing good soil, choosing the right plants for your locale, beetle bursting, weed warfare, planting protocols, and unusual, eco-friendly ways to quench your garden's thirst. She also provides a whimsical explanation of the ways in which gardening can promote well-being through exercise, relaxation, and connecting with the earth.
