The Healthy Lawn Handbook

The book was simple enough to not be boring, but in depth enough to tell everything I possibly wanted to know. I have read books that told me more than I needed, and I never finished them. I have also read through far too many that simply said nothing. This one was right in the middle and perfect for me. I bought several for friends who liked it as well. Winward obviously has a big organic bent, because most solutions he gives are organic. I think more people than just myself will like this. You hard core chemical users will find some fair stuff, but probably not as much as your drooling to get. Anyway, I recommend it.

The easy step by step approach illustrated by the author was a miracle cure for my yard. I aerate correctly now, and boy it makes all the difference.

I was never privileged to have the time to learn what I needed to know in order to take care of my lawn, using the regular methods such as practical experience and personal experimentation. But I have always desired to have that knowledge anyway. Thank heavens Author Lane Winward found the time to learn eveything about lawns. Even more to the point, thank heavens he documented them. I found the information in this book easy to retrieve and easy to apply. The pictures were lovely and the methods outlined have truly worked for me. The writing style was not over bearing and boring. Others book like this are more like encyclopedias and are not so easy to read and understand. I actually do have the greenest lawn in my neighborhood. Cindy Lu Cazier
