This book stays in my truck ALWAYS. Bought this book last year and use it not only for my own questions and reminders, but use the great quality photos to show my customers an example of the problem they are facing on thier property. Being the gardener for a landscaping company, I need to identify and resolve problems with anything from a soil issue to finding a way to save a customer's favorite tree.
Its whole purpose is to tell you which of their products to use for which pest or fungus or nutrient difficientcy. Fair as a gardening resource, but is basically a very large instruction manual for the line of Ortho gardening chemicals.
It is a must have book for every gardner.I also feel that the price for this book is fair for the information that it contains. The recomended treatments are easy to understand. It is a wonderful reference book. The pictures are great and it is easy to identify the culprit in the garden.
I just wish Ortho would take the professional edition and split it into maybe four books to make it more manageable. Being a certified nurseryman,I have found this book to be an invaluable tool for customer service and to boost sales.
This book talks about insects, climate and soil and other topics to numerous to remember. It is very easy to read. I bought this book and the pictures are outstanding. They are all life like, not sketches.
