Reviews
"Less experienced gardeners will most appreciate this book of answers, but everybody makes mistakes." -- Publishers Weekly "Combining common sense with practical experience, Chace's answers will have gardeners questioning how they can ever go wrong again." -- Booklist "The best book I have seen this year for the beginning gardener." -- Portland Press Herald "A good book for beginning gardeners because much of the material covered is basic, but even experienced gardeners could learn a few tricks." -- Country Gardens "If you are planting your first garden or perhaps have just had your first garden disaster, this is the book to find out where things went wrong." -- Book Visions "Chace offers the right way to do the job, tells readers how to fix their mistakes, and sometimes counsels them to accept defeat." -- Akron Beacon Journal "A sensible approach that won't intimidate." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "Good choice for beginning and/or gardeners with short attention spans. . . . It's easy to read and covers lots of ground quickly." -- Harrisburg Patriot-News "It is the best book I have seen this year for the beginning gardener." -- Portland Press Herald "You'll find sympathy and practical fixes here." -- NJ.com, Less experienced gardeners will most appreciate this book of answers, but everybody makes mistakes., As all gardeners know, mistakes go with the gardening turf. From the too-big plant in the front of the border to the badly pruned shrub, making ugly and visible errors is the tuition gardeners pay. Garden writer Chace offers help in this well-organized compendium of common mistakes that can be avoided or, if not, fixed. In separate chapters, Chace covers everything from bulbs (how deep to plant? which end is up?) to weeds (how did they get into a new planting bed?). She first explains correct techniques and then offers fixes if the gardener has goofed, an especially helpful feature. (Some things can't be fixed, so, for example, never top a tree.) Illustrations by Colleen Coover help the anxious gardener lighten up. Less experienced gardeners will most appreciate this book of answers, but everybody makes mistakes., If you are planting your first garden or perhaps have just had your first garden disaster, this is the book to find out where things went wrong., "We love "I Goofed, Can I Fix It?" [sections] which provid[e] tips on mistakes such as overzealous pruning and choosing the wrong plant for a space.", Chace offers the right way to do the job, tells readers how to fix their mistakes and sometimes counsels them to accept defeat., Combining common sense with practical experience, Chace's answers will have gardeners questioning how they can ever go wrong again., "We love "I Goofed, Can I Fix It?" [sections] which provid[e] tips on mistakes such as overzealous pruning and choosing the wrong plant for aspace.", The language is straight forward and perfect for amateur and beginning gardeners, while there are great reminders for more experienced gardeners since there is always room to learn from your mistakes., Anyone that has made a gardening goof, or had gardening questions, but felt intimidated by the sheer volume of information available online or at the library can get something significant from this book., "Good choice for: beginning and/or gardeners with short attention spans... it's easy to read and covers lots of ground quickly." , A good book for beginning gardeners because much of the material covered is basic, but even experienced gardeners could learn a few tricks., Makes easy practical sense out of mysteries of gardening and helps to troubleshoot and prevent problems from even occurring in the first place.

I inquired and was told they had sold the last copy and my order could not be fulfilled. Disappointing as it was too late to order another for my trip. After my inquiry, they did write me a nice note, otherwise I would give a negative review.
- h***r (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI ordered 3 books on a buy 2, get the 3rd free deal. It was a good value, I did receive the correct items (this is a replacement order; different seller sent me the wrong book). Unfortunately like all book other sellers, these arrived with zero protective wrapping so the hardbound book appears scuffed up from the black plastic, of the other two paperbacks one is in fairly good condition as described, the other one is in much poorer condition than described, is not the same cover, water damaged
