Look out pests! Ed Rosenthal loves plants and wants your garden to thrive . . .
Author Ed Rosenthal is renowned for his advice on growing the most expensive commercial crop, marijuana. Now, with Protect Your Garden: Eco-Friendly Solutions for Healthy Plants ($24.95), he extends his expertise to all gardeners who want effective, environmentally sound information. This highly visual troubleshooting guide focuses on the inevitable pests, diseases, and nutrient imbalances that can come between gardeners and a bountiful crop. Protect Your Garden is designed to quickly identify the issue and provide eco-friendly solutions. Organized as a field guide with more than 100 full-color photographs, the book covers over 70 prevalent problems. Pests vary in size from barely visible spores to large deer. They may be airborne or live in the soil. Some are plant specific, such as the tomato hornworm, while others, such as spider mites and caterpillars, are attracted to a wide range of plants. Container gardens are more likely to suffer nutrient disorders, while diseases like powdery mildew infect many garden environments. Whatever the trouble, correcting the situation will increase plant vigor and yield.
Once the problem is identified, Protect Your Garden shows you how to solve it, while keeping your garden safe for you, your family, and the planet. Solutions include commercial products, homemade recipes, minerals, and herbal oils. The guide also covers beneficial biologicals, such as bacteria, fungi, and predatory insects.
Ed Rosenthal has been writing about safe and resourceful gardening for over 40 years. Recognized worldwide as a leading botanist, he was recently featured in The Art of Doing alongside “superachievers” including Yogi Berra, Martina Navratilova, and George Clinton. Rosenthal continues to research plants and new gardening techniques. His books include: Protect your Garden, Marijuana Grower’s Handbook, Marijuana Pest & Disease Control, Medical Marijuana Handbook, The Big Book of Buds Series, and Why Marijuana Should be Legal.
