Customer Reviews

Useful book with all the necessary information
This book contains all the necessary information to make successful diagnoses for a wide range of plant problems.

Useful and useable for the amateur and professional alike, containing colour photos, detailed information on pests and diseases and lists of the most frequent and likely problems for a wide range of plants.

Also, this book is so much more affordable the the majority of plant pathology books which are aimed at a very specialist market and often deal with only insect pests or diseases. It even contains information on badgers and deer.

Just the best for the not so learned gardener
This book makes it simple to identify gardening problems, with its clear photos and use of simple names for plants as well as the latin ones. I found a solution to my problem within seconds. It will certainly be my bible for any gardening queries.

A superb, intelligent book
This is the ideal book for novice and professional alike. The subject is covered thoroughly and without patronising the reader. If you aren't sure what has attacked your prized and precious plants then get a copy of Stefan Buczacki and Keith Harris' book. No good gardener should be without it.
