starsProblem Solver
The Ortho problem settler, 6. Expenditure (Ortho problem settler) to most-most manual I working in the garden possess. Surely, they will promote their products, but the general information and the illustrations are first rate.


starsBest Gardening problem solver you will every get.
From the Bewunderer to pro, of this text of the problems, of the most sensitive enterprise and from the flowers to the most difficult forms of the trees and the Straeuche, changes of book installation all this, working in the garden. Also as hardbound, it is an excellent additon to each possible library. I have to find a better book for use for pro and Bewunderer already whole around joerx


starsGreat reference book
I have a chemical lawn/tree


starsComprehensive except for lack of Organic control methods
"the Ortho problem settler" is a wonderful turn consulting on troubles, mushrooms, etc. and steering it with inorganic methods. Of course Ortho admits not to organic schaedlingsbekaempfung, but I feel still that possibly they should include these information regarding that many, which would like to also steer certain troubles, which within the wilderness ranges -- like ranges phases are, in which it birds give or ecologists or in direction to this range is oriented, if she comes to certain expenditures such as vegetables and fruit. Environmentalmoderately correct methods work frequently. Some do nothing over troubles all the same which, because they are afraid each possible interruption in the wilderness. I bought the book because of the information, which it has in a multiplicity of other ranges -- to soil you pH, lists of more pests/fungus/other and of photos of the damage it and entire general information. It is a very interesting and complete turn consulting. It has a good plan with some sections.


starsThis book is the "missing link" to solving garden problems.
Having just completed training in the Master Gardener program in our state, I found that I still needed a better visual reference to correctly identify garden problems. Recently, while shopping for a pesticide, I was able to pinpoint my exact problem because the store had prominently displayed a copy of "The Ortho Problem Solver" by Michael D. Smith! Its brilliant photographs and easy to understand narratives were surpassed only by its explicit and wonderfully cross-referenced index feature. I was unable to tear myself away - and kept calling my husband over to help me remember photos for later diagnosis at home.

As a serious photographer, I was able to appreciate the clarity and specificity of the photographs - and as a gardener, I was determined to own my own copy of this book immediately! (I will only be disappointed with this purchase if a newer version of the book is published before I receive my copy!)


starsMaster Gardener Comments:
This book is the best source, which I found to be determined in order to help, operating problems. The fifth expenditure has better color illustrations as preceding expenditures, and it is to be granted more broadly, more area for the illustrations and the letter. It a Ortho book is, is the product recommendations for Ortho products of course there. However this gives a safe indication to the reader over the kind of the means, which they should regard for control. Probably worth the money for the eager gardner.


starsYou pay for Ortho's ads
This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. The information is not as extensive as it first seems with it's 1000 plus pages. 143 pages are product labels which I see as a platform for advertisement of ortho products. Most solutions to plant problems refer the reader almost exclusively to one of it's own products. Another disappointment is the repetitive word for word descriptions of particular plant problems that many plants have in common. That may be unavoidable to some extent because there can only be a few ways to describe things that are similar but I was surprised at the exact duplicate wording throughout the book. I think it is a good reference in general but I feel that anyone who purchases such an expensive reference should know what they are paying for. Had I known ahead of time, I don't think I would have spent the money. Multiple resources such as Sunset's Western Garden Problem Solver, Rodale's Garden Insect, Disease & Weed Identification Guide, and other Complete Garden books can give you the same information with less biased solutions at a lower cost.


starsA wise investment for the Avid Gardener
Contain, many more enterprises and their problems of many complete as the Ortho offers of the book for the "main gardner". I recommend this for that the applicable eager gardner or, who invested a quantity money into its landscape design. It includes most problems and the solutions, which can find you in your yard. Although this book is present normally as reference to many landscaping/garden memory, the Ortho of products sells, knows those attendance, it to regard very time-consuming to become. To receive a fast Look UP in the book and in the treatment is complete (if I the correct chemicals have), before I even a probability would have, a memory past. I brought the costs of the book straight in the time, which I stored.


starsAn indispensable reference
I am a neophyte gardener with my first yard, garden etc. This book has become a constant companion in my endeavors to make things grow. I was startled by the price, but it has proven itself to be worth every penny. Anyone who sees this book always remarks on how dirty and worn it is. The book has earned every mark, and every spot. And my respect.
