More often than not, the plant's owner has no idea what is causing the problem, or how to fix it. Fortunately, help is at hand. This innovative, easy-to-use book enables you to recognize what's plaguing your plant and then implement an appropriate cure--without resorting to toxic chemicals. <p/> Part 1 presents easily understood, illustrated flow charts--organized by the plant part on which the symptoms appear--that enable you to accurately diagnose what is ailing your plant. Part 2 tells you how to fix the problem; whatever the cause--growing conditions, pests, or disease--you'll find a safe, organic solution. Part 3 is a photo gallery of common problems; compare your plant to a photograph in order to verify the malady you're dealing with. <p/> Whether your garden consists of herbs on a sunny windowsill, a vegetable plot, an elaborate mixed border, or a container on a patio, <i>What's Wrong With My Plant?</i> will be an indispensable resource. You don't even need to know the plant's name. If you can see it, you can fix it. Curing a sick plant just doesn't get any easier. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This attractive, comprehensive, authoritative and easy-to-use guide, allowing gardeners to diagnose and organically treat a wide range of plant problems, is a worthy purchase." --<i><b>Library Journal</b></i> <p/> "This is one of the best books I've seen for guiding the gardener through the maze of maladies that can visit garden plants. . . .
