1,001 Ingenious Gardening Ideas: New, Fun and Fabulous That Will Change the Way You Garden - Forever!

1001 Ingenious gardening Ideas is one of my favorite gardening books. It is full of information by gardeners all across the U.S. giving you their gardening secrets, tips, and inexpensive home grown ingenuity. It is arranged into chapters such as vegetables, herbs, flowers, etc. but each article in the chapter stands alone as a separate bit of advice. Many of the articles are illustrated with drawings. You can leaf through the book and start reading it where ever an article catches your eye. Once you start reading it though you'll want to read it cover to cover. It is a keeper because you will want refer back to it. It is a great gardening idea book.

I first found this book in my local library, but it is so full of tips and tricks that I can use every day that I knew I had to buy it because I would reference it over and over...and I have. I have had this book for a couple of years now (very delayed review) and I still peruse it every sop often because it is absolutely full of wonderful ideas that anyone can apply to their garden whether they are a master gardener or they just have a couple of containers on a terrace. It is my favorite gardening book so far.

Being a novice gardener, I am sometimes intimidated by gardening books. I have checked out several Rodale books at my local library and have found this one to be another winner. It's easy to read and loaded with useful tips and ideas, some so simple that I wonder how come I didn't think of that myself! Others I think "Wow! What a cool idea". I've got plans to utilize many of them this year. I'd recommend this book for just about anyone, especially a new gardener. This is another one I'm adding to my wish list.

As a beginning gardener myself, I found this book to be quite fascinating. I wanted to utilize all these tips because I had most of the materials at home! It was a very easy book to read, and I thank the author for gracing us with these tips.

Common Sense, that is what we really want to use and 1001 Ingenious Gardening Ideas gets us going. Let's use what we all stash in the garage, lamp shades, newspapers, plastic bottles, old plastic pots. This book is so easy to read, and to re-read. I don't know how I got along without it all these years. I can't wait for the next 1001 suggestions.
