A Beginners Guide to Companion Planting- Companion Gardening with Flowers, Herbs & Vegetables

is that the diagrams, especially the Ven diagrams, which are basically the summation of the info presented, are so small as to be practically useless. I read the book on my Kindle and loved the info, in fact, after reading over a dozen gardening how-to books the past few days I'm rating this right up in the top three. The info deserves 5 stars. But even after switching over to the computer to try to see them on the much larger area of the monitor, when they're enlarged they go blurry. I'll figure it out, but if this could be fixed it would greatly improve the useability of the book.

I do not often give five star reviews, in fact I mostly review books that annoy me. (Check my reviews if you have any doubts.) This is one of the few exceptions. It is excellent with regard to content, accuracy of information, and flow and structure of the book itself. I have been an enthusiastic Permaculture gardener for two decades and often look at new gardening books. I am fairly experienced but I have already found several new tips - things that I was unaware of until now. This is without doubt the best that I have so far found on Amazon. I have already recommended it to several people who have an interest in developing a high producing garden in a relatively small space - such as survivalists or "preppers" as they are known in the US.

This is an excellent book and I can enthusiastically recommend it.

Tons of information for the beginner gardener. Learn what herbs help keep the bad bugs away, and brings in the good ones. Learn what veggies compliment each other, and the ones that are bad to be near each other. Great, great starter primer.
